Ignore it. If she sends a tracking number, do not respond, but forward the tracking number to the fraud department of FedEx or whoever else. It will probably be paid with a stolen credit card or a stolen sender account.

Thank you very much. I know she has tried to contact me a few times today. I blocked her on my gmail account and have not replied to any other forms of contact. Thanks again!

It is now 4/15 and she is still doing this. I was approached on Elance and went through the same as mentioned below but I had two tasks. Unfortunately I was stupid and sent them $100.00. Normally I would not have done this but we had a situation going on with the family and it distracted me and I thought it was only $100. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to go about starting legal action? I assume she's done this a lot since she/he is still doing this? Is anybody out there interested in trying to get a group of us together to try and get our money back?

^^^ I am sorry that you a victim of this scam. If you sent the money recently check and see if it has been picked up.

If it has been picked up then you will never get the money back.

You can report this to IC3 http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx attempting any legal action on the scammer will be a waste of money. The scammer is using all fake details and is out of country.

Please post the emails sent to you and any website you were directed to.

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 I immediately rescinded my letter of employment and ceased further contact.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."

oh my gosh! I was just scammed by this same exact style - my HR person was Mariam Burns from Chicago though.

I gave her my name, address, phone number and just the name of my bank.

I am freaking out. Shut down computers and started changing passwords.

Is there anything they can do with that information - like seriously - my hands were shaking when I realized (too late) that something wasn't right.

Help!!

Welcome to Scamwarners,

You can relax. The scammers ask for those detail to make his scam seem real.

If you have a unique name you can set up google alerts to notify you if your name has been posted on the web.

Please post the email address and a couple of the initial emails the scammer sent you. Remove you personal information from them prior to submitting.

They say they are Alliance Medical


They instruct you to go to Google Hangouts and that is where they will "interview" you.

This was through UpWorks so I thought was a valid job - when I went back to UpWorks to complain, there is no way to contact support. In the forums I found several other people who have been scammed by this group.

Thanks Byron!

I took a look at the site . Couldn't really find any contact email addresses or phone numbers . Are the scammers targeting a particular group of workers on there ?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to inform everyone that this person is still at it and that I am glad I googled [email protected] because this forum is how I found out this job proposal is a scam. I received a proposal through upwork and I am going to decline and report this person. The contact name in the proposal is Jessica White.

I found a few Jessica White's on upwork can you post a link to the upwork profile that the scam job offer came from .

Thx

I'm currently going through the 'hiring' process! This is unbelievable. The recruiting managers's names are "Alyssa Gibson" & "Rebecca Liddell". The company I am getting 'hired' by is Quintiles Inc. A pharmacutical company. I am currently awaiting for the check. I'm going to waste their time :twisted:

Thank you for exposing those thieves!

You are playing games with criminals who have your real life details and have the ability to cause real problems for you and your friends and family. You would be advised to just stop communicating with the scammer.
