So, I went digging.....
Indiegogo is like kickstarter but not as nearly well thought or run.
Troopinterest.com does not appear to be what it represents or its very lacking in focus.
The domain was registered on July 3, 2012. However at various times these things are said on the site or on Indiegogo:

So here is my conclusion. $10 per care package or less is not much of a care package and that includes no money for the site. Some of the English in here is a bit odd, strange grammar, strange nouns. Either its very poorly thought out or its a scam. Either way it deserves no money and requires a lot more proof of its intention.
Any info with regards this "charity" Troop Interest - Supporting Our Troops!
