Rightstuf is totally legit and safe as a company. The international request for additional verification is to reduce the ridiculous percentage of credit card fraud that originates from overseas. Frankly, I'm surprised more internet companies don't do this as a standard operating procedure anymore.

Caveat: this does not eliminate the tiny tiny risk that an employee of rightstuf might not be corrupt... but then you're still much more likely to get your identity stolen at any restaurant or store where you have to show your ID card or hand them your credit card.
