I checked the forum about these folks and I see where others have been contacted but no feedback yet.

We talked to them and told them we were nervous and that we would be willing to start working for them but that we wanted to take it slow.  The next day they sent us 11 full searches, copies, plat maps the whole deal.

This feels wrong ... anyone have any feedback?

We are going to ask for cash up front.  I could get some sort of legal contract signed but I doubt that something like that would keep them from not paying if that is what they intend.  I am assuming they will refuse to pay up front, but I think I am o.k. with that ... I think?

Am I being too reactionary?  We have just been burned so many times in situations exactly like this.  The work sure would be nice ... the volume they are talking about is huge.

:-(
