Your relatives would fax the bank statement to the store and you would pick it up.Or, your relatives could fax it directly to your agent.Or, your relatives could scan it and e-mail you the scan.

I just got an e-mail from PrivateMoneyGoldmine.com, and commented on another such solicitation here on Bigger Pockets  But, instead of the honest answers here, the guy who was doing the advertising and others got really bad about using their name in my forum Post and even mentioning their name in the same sentence with the word "Scam."

I got an e-mail after I got back home.

I recommend a classic book on this topic called The E Myth.
