Hi Hazel,
I think Indeed is definitely legit. But I would not apply through Indeed. I would only use it to search for jobs. Then I'd go to the actual company website to find the opening (often, there is a bit more information or a contact person). If I am interested I would apply directly on the company website or per e-mail if there is an address given for that.
What has become pretty shady is LinkedIn. I see lots of fake openings being advertised. But again, if I see something interesting, I would go to the company website and apply from there.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!

Hello, Hazel !
I have had good response from real companies through Indeed. I have obtained great work done locally and also done remotely by using that website. I do not have much more to say but wanted to assure you that some people do obtain jobs through Indeed and get paid.
It may depend on what line of work you are looking for, too. You can do a search for other employment websites but Indeed and Linked In are the most popular. If you've already obtained work through Indeed, you know it's "legit".
