I agree with all the points made about why this is likely some sort of scam here. It doesn't seem right on a number of reasons.
While technically it is possible that they may be opening a new location in Chicago, I find it really strange that they don't list a single job opening on their website in Chicago. If that were true they must be planning to staff it entirely with people who have work authority in the US. Considering they are based in India I would expect them to bring multiple people over to get it set up and if they need work visas. Anyone who has experience with the process knows that they have strong regulations about the duration and advertising of open positions before they would be allowed to hire on a temporary visa basis.
It doesn't ring true to me.

I didn't check the IL Secretary of State's Office, but I did google "Care Hospitals Group" Chicago. There is such a group, but it is located on LaSalle Street. It shows up on several sites like Yellow Pages, etc. There is a phone number as well, Loony. Call (301) 966-3429 on Monday and ask for HR. They can probably help you determine if the guy who interviewed you really works for their company, or if it is a scam. Is that a typo in the phone number? 301 is a Maryland area code. If it's not a typo, then it would add another layer of ambiguity to the authenticity of the organization. The authenticity of the offer, however, would likely be unaffected as it would remain dubious. If it is a typo, it is their typo and not mine. I did a cut-and-paste.

Anyone find it odd there is no street number in the address just a suite number (Randolph Drive, Suite 7800)? Randolph Drive is part of Randolph Street in Chicago Randolph Drive is a somewhat large portion of Randolph Street. "A lower level also exists between Stetson and Columbus, intersecting lower Columbus (and ramps to middle Columbus). The middle level East of Columbus Drive is known as Randolph Drive." Randolph Street (Chicago)I lived across the Chicago River from that address for almost 8 years. There ARE Randolph Drive addresses, but last I knew it was a Swisshotel and a very expensive condo. Also, the lower and middle levels of Columbus and Randolph are dark, dank, subterranean roads -- usually used as service entrances. Hardly a likely entrance for a hospital or medical office. And, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Lloony in Pennsylvania? That would be some commute.

No where did you ever mention it is a WORK FROM HOME. go CI and read what you wrote, you never mentioned it once, let alone 25 times.

About the same thing before the letter came... You did not make a reference that linked this thread to the other, so someone reading just this thread would have no idea the two were related. We're financial geniuses here, not mind readers. If you have info in another thread that applies to your current thread, we need a link, a reminder or something to let us know. And no matter how many times you mentioned it, it's still a scam. No one gets sixty grand a year plus bennies to sit on their heinie at home and manage an office that probably does not exist, except nine or so time zones away from a street in Chicago that may or may not be a real address.

I'm thinking I'm way closer to Chicago, maybe I should apply? A 40% raise and work from home? Sounds pretty good to me! eta: Wait! That's a 60% raise. Holy crap.

If you have given these people any personal information, I'd suggest you contact your credit card companies and let them know to send you a new card and not to accept any charges against your current card that are registered after the date you talked to these creatures. I'd also suggest you run a virus scan and malware scan on your computer if you downloaded anything! There's one report on ScamGuard from April, 2015 of a company by the same name, with the same telephone number that alleges the company offered her a job but it turned out she had to pay some amount ($2500+) for the software to do the job. The poor thing paid the money and, of course, there was no job. ScamGuard Report

Ever heard of identity theft? If they have access to your computer they have access to everything. It could make your life quite miserable.
But hey it's probably totally legit. Post a copy of your first $63k paycheck.
