Is chronopay.com legit?

Does anyone know whether chronopay.com is legit? (Bonus question: how could I have checked up on them myself?)

I've used it many times without problems. I can't really say how legit it was, as I was using it on AllOfMP3.com which is definitely not legit.

Some things I do to check up on companies or websites:

1. Go to Google Groups and enter the name or URL. (http://groups.google.com)
You’d be amazed how often someone has asked a question or complained about a shady business.

2. Do a Whois search: (http://www.whois.net). This tells you who registered the site. The results from this site: http://www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=chronopay.com
Notice that there is a number you could call if you wanted to. I never send money to a site that has a new “record created date” (which sometimes is listed the domain registration date). This Domain was registered in 2003.

3. Check who links to the site: link:http://www.chronopay.com/

4. Check the Google rank of the site. I never send money to a website that does not have a Google rank.
