I'm probably being cheap, but I do not want to spend money to take an employment assessment test when nobody even knows what the job is about.

Has anyone been able to view the material without paying for the online book, for a mystery job that we don't even know specifics about?

*Update*
I called the 1-800 number on their website and it is only a voice automated answering service. It does not even mention the name of the company. You can only leave a message for "your party", and the party is always unavailable. I know it's Saturday, but I figured you can reach a real person with a 1-800 number. Be very leary everybody. It might be a scam.
