It doesn't need to be like that. You can minimize your risks by doing what needs to be done to verify whether a company is real or not. Have a look at HMSG and INXR, in paticular INXR, go to the board and see what certain members had to do to verify etc. But I agree, having said that you can never be sure, but then again that goes for any company, large or small,pink sheet or not.
