You probably can't ... and this is a major red flag of many fraudulent work-at-home schemes or frauds designed to obtain your personal information to commit identity theft. If you can't talk to someone live on the telephone to get all your questions answered, you should not pursue this opportunity any further. Avoid sending any personal information through e-mail to be safe. If you are still curious, contact your state department of consumer affairs for additional background information. We would like your feedback on this Personal Finance Frequently Asked Question.
