Is weworkremotely.com legit or a scam?
Legitimate remote job board with 12+ years of operation, but user complaints highlight subscription-trap billing and job-scraping concerns.
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain is 4,643 days old (12+ years), operates under active Canadian business registration, maintains consistent social media presence, and hosts real job listings from major companies. Our antivirus network, browser blocklists, and sandbox all return clean results. However, the evidence package contains two specific an independent review aggregator complaints describing locked-in annual subscription commitments that users cannot easily cancel, and allegations that most job listings are scraped from LinkedIn rather than original postings. Independent review sites describe the platform as legitimate, but acknowledge billing friction. The brand-impersonation flag (Binance) appears to be a false positive—the site legitimately hosts Binance job postings as part of its job board function, not impersonation. The moderate scam likelihood reflects the subscription-trap pattern rather than outright fraud.
