Integrity Defender Offers These Tips While Researching Online:

1. Look at the sites URL. .Org, .Edu, .Gov, and .lib sites are most trustworthy.

2. Have you heard of the site before? If you've never heard of the source, chances are they may not be credible, do some research on the site itself to find out.

While Reviewing Companies:

1. Beware of complaint sites. These sites are unregulated and often host ill-informed complaints from competitors, disgruntled employees, and other users looking to tarnish the company's reputation.

2. Look around. If there is only one complaint about a company on a complaints board, chances are that company is legitimate and that complaint is the result of a spammer.
