Research & Management Corp - Legitimate?

[Johanna]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if someone might be able to help me out from experience or from something they have read.... my best googling and searching within this forum hasn't helped me decide one way or another.

I've come across a company called Research & Management Corp, in Mississauga, Canada. I can't find anything very helpful online. I can't see a website of their own, which is unusual these days, but hey, who knows.

There are scam warnings relating to something called AMBA Research & Management Corp, so I'm wondering if it could just be the same thing in another name. The person I'm dealing with is also just using a gmail email account and not a company email address.

The only thing that's confusing is it seems totally different to what was involved in the AMBA scam. That involved being a mystery shopper/quality tester, and depositing a cheque. What I'm being asked to do here is research & writing work. I'm not sure if maybe I could just be working for free which is bad enough, or if some other thing might come up down the line which would be a blatant red flag, while I don't have such a blatant one in the meantime?.....

Any thoughts would be welcome - thanks.
