TMD –
Very good questions, unfortunately this will be a judgment call on your behalf on who you give your money to. But I can offer some advice, when dealing with on line internet business and your money, always be alert as you are because you are asking. As the saying states: “A fool and his money are soon departed”.
• Try to deal with well know and established business.
• If you’re not sure ask a buddy if they have dealt with or knowledge of that business.
• See if they offer a landline voice number that you can call and call it; make sure it’s not just a recorder but a live person.
• When using their webpage, ensure it has the “lock” at the bottom of your browser or the web page link starts with: https as opposed to: http. Https is secured.
• Make sure your browser has the latest security updates; the latest for Internet Explorer is 128 Bit.
I can tell you that I personally have dealt with
www.usenetbinaries.com/
but only using there free service. I have used
www.corenews.com/
as a pay customer.
I have a friend who currently uses:
www.easynews.com/
for about 2 years.
Usenet and Easy News are web based which is cool. Core News uses a Newsgroup Client, which is robust and not pretty, these pay service can offer over 100K plus newsgroups where ISP’s my use about 20-30K.
Hope this helps you out some.
Good Luck.
