4. CONNECTING Look up the company on LinkedIn. Then click on the 'People' tab. Then try connecting with people from the business. If no one responds, it might be a sign that something is fishy.
5. VALUE VS COST Does the offer sound too good to be true? In 99% of those cases, it is a scam. Definitely research them first.
6.WHO IS ACCEPTED Do they accept EVERYONE who submits to them. e.g. Upload your song, pay us $X and we'll market it to thousands of radio stations. If they don't need to hear you music to determine if the quality is good enough to submit to radio, it's a scam. No reputable company would risk their reputation by pitching songs they never even heard, evaluated and approved.
