Is verbolabs.com legit or a scam?
Legitimate Indian translation company with clean scans but repeated freelancer complaints about payment and low rates.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as VerboLabs, a professional translation service offering work in 120+ languages with a valid business registration dating back to 2017. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists returned completely clean results with no malicious flags. The hosting IP also shows zero abuse reports. However, the evidence package contains three separate complaints from Reddit and the Translation Industry Transparency Board alleging non-payment and misleading assignments to freelancers. Positive client feedback appears on Clutch and ProZ, creating a mixed picture focused on business practices rather than technical threats.
