When applying for an internet job, a few things might come into your mind, including "Is this a scam?" or "Will this company actually pay me?" Thankfully, there is an organization to help us check the reliability of most companies.
The BBB or Better Business Bureau is a great organization that you will probably use multiple times when looking for an online job. This organization keeps records of claims against companies, so you can easily tell if the company you are considering in in good standing. To use the BBB, go to:
For U.S. based companies:
http://www.us.bbb.org
For Canadian based companies:
http://www.ccbbb.ca/
Next, type in the name of the company you are interested in, and click search.
Once you have found the correct business, click the link on their name.
If the company is in the database, the site will tell you the companies rating, in addition to the number of complaints filed against the company and how many of those complaints have been resolved.
This could save you a lot of time and effort in the long run, so please check before applying.
Another possibility is to do a Google search on the name of your company and the word complaints next to it.
Example:
(Company name) complaints
If you find an overwhelming amount of bad feedback, stay away from the company.
Let's face it. Who wants to spend hours working and not even get paid?
