Would you share your national id with a site online to boost your marketing/trustworthiness?

I face that dilemma now, the sites where I do business ask for national id that will verify me and boost my image/trustworthiness, this will realistically improve the chance to complete a sell but I'm not sure if there are any risks associated with this. The sites are reputable but still not as reputable as a site like amazon.

What do you think, is it dangerous to share such info? would you do it?

    If by "National ID" you mean a social security number (US) or equivalent from another country then it is very common for sites that "pay" you to ask for it.

    I don't see how it would.

    is it dangerous to share such info? would you do it?
    It could potentially be very dangerous in the wrong circumstances. I have entered my SS# on many sites, that I trust. Trust is something we can't help you with as we don't know your specific situation.

    I think I would not necessarily share my national identity or any personal information just to build trust. However, I agree that the thing will definitely earn a lot of trust and sales in return!

    You make the final call on this one, if you are not sure then better stay like that.

    Never give your National ID away to anyone it will be used and give you a load of trouble. Keep. any ID away from the internet

    Every post in this thread is from a different country - and the only answer that makes sense is....'it depends'.


    If you are signing up for affiliate an program that will be PAYING you - chances are you will need to give some personal ID info. However, depends on the country and the tax laws.
