How to get paid

[Craig Seeman] “One thing to be aware of is the client who pays by check … but the check bounces and the client doesn’t make good.”

In California, this is a crime and the County District Attorney’s office will gladly handle the case for you. Doesn’t do much good if the company or client lives outside California, but if they do, it shakes ’em up nicely to have a letter sent them by the District Attorney asking them to show up for their court date.

For Californians, it’s like Small Claims Court on steroids.

Some of the bigger businesses and ratings sites have a team of attorneys whose job it is to protect their respective companies from the repercussions of comments made on their sites.

Small independent sites are probably best served by locating their server in Vietnam or somewhere else where the laws would make it very tough for anyone to have recourse against you.

Ron,

And, not only is it a crime, but a felony, if they bounce a check for more than $1000.
