This could be in the form of an email address, a contact phone number or maybe a contact form to fill out. A good test of how serious the program is, is contacting the business through of these options. If the business is legitimate, they will respond. If there is no response, it is a good indication they are not sincere or they have a very poor organization, which can cause other issues later.

If a company is real, there will be something physical that will sold. If there is nothing that can be touched and held, then chances are, the only thing being sold is the opportunity to try and sell to someone else. These are considered pyramid schemes and illegal.
