Is this website legit?

[Cemetery-man]

I recently was sent an invitation to join a website that offers discounts on various name brand items for vets, students, etc. Just curious if anyone has any experience with this site or even if it is a legit offer. They want me to send them a DD-214 for proof of affiliation, one with SSN# intact or fill out an online application for them to obtain your military records as proof. Just thought I'd throw this at you to see if anyone could offer any info. Thanks.

Pretty sure .me is the top level domain for the country of montenegro. Not so sure i would hand that kind of info out to a domain such as that.

One of my general rules for life:

Any uninvited solicitation I get, especially those wanting ID theft type information, I ignore and/or runaway from.

Do they want you to scan the fronts and backs of all your credit cards for I.D. too?

If it looks suspicious, it probably is. Unless its Prince Kamara from the Nigerian republic. He told me I just need to send in two more checks and and i will finally get my 10,000,000 dollars that was heir-ed to me by my very distant and unknown cousin. I cant wait!!!

FWIW, a lot of reputable companies, both American based and internationally, pay a premium for the .me domain.

Since 2008, Montenegro’s national Internet extension, .ME, has been taking the domain world by storm. Named fastest growing European ccTLD in a 2012 report, .ME has become increasingly popular with companies such as Facebook (fb.me), WordPress (wp.me), Visa (v.me) and Time Inc. (ti.me) and for personal blogs alike.

Haha, It (id.me) just showed up on my facebook home page as a sponsor on the sidebar. It definitely stores cookies.

cook5oh is correct. Sounds like a information collection scheme for identy theft. I say stay very far away
