They presumably are based out of somewhere. Should be on their website somewhere. You could then check the Better Business Bureau and maybe do some online searching of their name to see what you can find.
As a real estate agent I sometimes get quite nervous with some of these online lenders buyers use. When there is a problem it can sometime be very hard getting a real person to work with.
In the long run I think you are better off going with a well known bank or mortgage lender.

Almost all of them are running a scam. You are much better to work with someone local. Online you don't even know if you are working within the country, and with a Federally insured bank.
You can look them up at bbb.org. Use the actual telephone number you talk to them on, to be sure the person is actually from the bank they are claiming to be working for.
I would also do searches to see if they are in the legal clear. There is a very bad preditor lurking here who does in fact work for a real mortage company. That does not negate all of the law suits for freud against them.

It may be a good idea to start out telecommuting just a day or two a week and increase gradually from there. This will provide you the opportunity to slowly transition how you will communicate in a more natural way. Many home workers find they spend too much time at the computer which can decrease overall productivity. Schedule breaks into your day.

try Hoovers.com.
also, if they are not a private company, they should be listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ. you can do a Yahoo search on their Finance pages -- finance.yahoo.com
try the Better Business Bureau, bbb.org. you can put in a request to find out if there are any complaints filed against the company.
but if you're still in doubt, try another mortgage company.

The FBI. They told me if a certain company was on their scam list.

I'd wager that most of them are scams. Call your bank and ask if they know of them.
