Remember my Article on Fraudulent Companies, some of which are off-shore shell companies?

One of the companies I wrote about (without mentioning their name) came at me again, this time they acquired a "client" in broken english, and wanted our pricing and county coverage for their new "Nationwide" project.

I have to admit, despite the language barrier, the idea sounded tempting. Money is money, work is work, right? But not only is my company steadily getting busier as is (to the point where I have to move!) but it does not change the facts, and the line had to be drawn.

This company, had all the red flags I mentioned:

-Generic Address in Delaware, a corporate tax haven similar to the Cayman Islands

-LLC was registered in a different name, in a different state

-Website wasn't even registered in their name, also registered in a different state

-Suspicious communication and/or methodology (too good to be true, also lied to me about being "transparent")

The bottom line: money or not, work or not, the risk of working with such a company is horrifying, and is so not worth it. Where are the Attorneys at? I would LOVE for them to chime in on this.

Be smart, be diligent, be innovative.
