internet company

how can i find out if a company that advertises on the internet is legitimate or not

If they take credit cards directly, they are probably legitimate - banks will take precautions before gicing them facilities (this does not include paypal etc - only if they directly take credit cards).

If you really want to, you can find out if they are a limited company and then apply to companies house to get their latest accounts. This will give you (dated) information as to their assets and whether they are solvent.

You could try googling their name.
