Thanks for those who have shared their experiences about this "company" here. They initially sent me a Job Interview invite on Upwork (formally oDesk).
As of 5-25-15, the company is still "in business" trying to scam people. Unfortunately, I had gotten to the stage of signing and returning a Letter of Employment. Fortunately, red flags in the back of my mind had me do another online search about the company (red flags included big promises in the You're Hired Welcome letter, including benefits and a huge salary for someone only working two hours a day). This time, I used some different search terms and found this site. I immediately rescinded my letter of employment and ceased further contact.
In the past, I have had successful jobs come about from online-only interviews. So, this was not a red flag in my case. Although, it probably is very unusual. The company's website was impressive as well. However, other red flags included poor English during the online interview and a lack of details about the job at hand. The interview questions were solid, and that did throw me off a bit.
But, they asked for my address before really needing it. Then, today, they wanted to know which banks I had accounts with and how long I had maintained those accounts. There really is no reason for them to know how long I had had my bank accounts for.
Please do be wary of "Alliance Healthcare" and "Heather Barkwill."
