I did some work at a Hot Topic store for this company in January, (today is April 17) and have faxed the invoices the way that they told me to, but they have never payed. I spent some of my own money on supplies, so I not only wasted my time, but money as well. The scary thing is that they ask you to fill out a W-9, and if you do not have an EIN, you have to enter your ss#. Luckily I sent my EIN (I am a Sole-Proprietor), and not my ss#. They got my contact info through an internet lead generating company, Service Magic, so if you are signed up with them or a similar company, be cautious about doing work for out of town companies. They lead you to believe that by doing this work for them, that It will lead to more, larger jobs.
