Since you're just starting out, most of the projects you'll get will be no-name clients who are looking for someone who will work for cheap. The sites you design may not even make it past the design stage and most won't be around in a few months. Its not something to be worried about, and as long as you get paid it shouldn't affect you. Not being able to Google a client doesn't mean there's anything suspicious about him or her, it simply means that they aren't all that active on the web. I've been a freelance designer for about five years, and most of the clients I worked with in the beginning had very little footprint on Google. Some of them were simply inactive, while others used other channels that are less common (obscure username on some random forum).
