Is there a place to check out the validity of a company? I'm guessing there has to be some official organization with which a company would have to be registered with?
I was interviewed (online) for a remote internship position by a company that provides financial services to startups, and they seemed very professional and legitimate. Their website lists their staff, LinkedIn profiles match the same information found on their site, and so forth. I had a really good vibe about the company until at the end of the interview, I was asked for my bank login information (username and password) "for documentation purposes" to set up direct deposit. Of course, I declined to give the information, and now I'm not sure what the deal is. Besides the fact that that's not the necessary info to set up direct deposit, it's just such a weird interview request. Any ideas on how to know for sure that it's legitimate?
