Venture Legal

How do we verify someone is an accredited investor before we talk to the? Is it illegal to talk to them about joining the fund if they are not accredited? (thinking for people with high salaries specific that we think may qualify but aren't sure of)

Looking for when to broach the topic of accreditation and how to bring it up in the conversation, this is for the closing of the PACT conversation.
