From their FAQ section of their website:
""How do I know this isn't a scam?
Answer: Absolutely not! We wouldn't be able to do business online very long if we were only here to blindly take your money and leave you high and dry. We've been online for nearly 6 years now and are very proud to be legit!""
But wait! The domain was created in Feb, 2007. My math says that it's been online for over 1 year-not 6.

And the domain they use for support mailto:support@freelancehomewriters.com hasn't been on the web that long either-barely over 1 year!

Of course, there is no mailing address listed for them on their website and as expected, they're using a "proxy" service to hide the information of the owner of both domains-good enough reasons for me to stay away from them.
