Is the company Alliancehealth a scam? (job offer, employees, apply, interviews)

[Jjills]

Yesterday I received an email from stating my resume had been reviewed and to setup a yahoo messenger Interview with head of operations,Aaron Hainley from AllianceHealth.I honestly apply to so many jobs on a daily basis I sometimes dont recall who Iapplied to.The job offer was good but I told Mr. Hainley I would need time.Upon researching,it seems that this company is a scam wanting people's information to wipe out thier bank account. I did find it strange when he asked what bank account do I bank with during the interview...Has anyone heard if Alliancehealth is a scam?Anyone familiar with that type of email?Your advice would be appreciated.

He may have asked about the bank because they might do Direct Deposit and not all companies are set up with all banks for that.
I have no idea because I have never heard of the company but it is a possibility.

Scam. They use real company names to lure you in. Yahoo messenger is a red flag.

All you have to do is go to the AllianceHealth website. If you check out their career page, you can see that all openings provide a contact email for a Brad Peterson with an email address including @alliancehealth.com. Any company (other than Yahoo) that uses a Yahoo account to contact prospective employees is on a pfishing expedition and it is definitely a scam!!

Bingo-had this to with a company called "Fidelity Investments"- sounds an awful lot like the real Fidelity. And of course it was the same "You are automatically hired just contact us on Yahoo Messenger". Yes, of all the yes in the world it is a scam.

SCAM! Same scams just with different twists. These scams have been going on for years. They may seem somewhat 'innocent' at first but they eventually get people to slip up somewhere and provide information they shouldn't.

Too much to post here to give you all the different scenarios and ways that they can possibly scam you but the link below will give you some good examples and situations for you to read up on regarding this type of scam. Some of these posters were even actually eventuallty scammed out of money or had their bank accounts wiped out:
