Re[3]: Translations Secrets
Go to whois.com
Go to whois lookup below the large white search field
Next screen, enter domain name and check location and/or names
This – sometimes – gives you some clarifications.
If there is not a single name or a real address on the co’s website, write and ask for one.
when you get it, check it out (white pages, google, check address with reverse look-up)
Check address to see if it is a mailbox front, i.e. an address with 100+ units.
Check google maps aerial view to get a physical view of the location. May or may not clarify things.
When in doubt: DON’T.
Next, if it is in the US go to the business entities search of the particular state. They are usually under the state’s secretary of state site (search for “[state name] SOS”) and look for the “business entity search”
My search in for Worldaccess Translations in Nevada, for example, resulted in a “REVOKED”
At another occasion, a German company claimed to be subsidiary of a company in the UK. When I check out that address (incl google maps street view) I found a small house with a business front and shades drawn, and then discovered several dozen pending investigations and license revocations linked to that address.
Again, when in doubt, DON’T
and research, research, research, and have the company’s document their answers.
Feel empowered rather than at the mercy of the agencies. They are fewer than us and this means they need us more than we need them.
