Is this company real or a fraud? Do they actually pay?

Most of these types of offers are scams. You have to use your own sound judgement. You need to look out for a few things, like an offer too good to be true. ($500 a week?! No experience?! Start now!? Get your head out your a**) Also, shoddy, or no website (which, actually the company didn't have; they had a nice flash-based one) because they usually can't afford it, or don't want to be traced. Also, I didn't find anything on google, but you should also check your local BBB to see their history. In additon, find out what year the company was formed. If it is very recent, then it is definitely a scam. And finally, are they asking for private info, such as bank account numbers, social security, etc.? And if they ask you to send them money, that's a sure sign of a scam. Remember, always be wary, and i've noticed that Canadian scammers are usually a level up on the intelligence scale than their American counterparts.
