I used the Check LinkedIn link above to do some more research, and Alpha 411 seems to have a real team, with real people who have real backgrounds and real connections. It'd be hard to imagine that these people could get 100s of LinkedIn connections (some with connections of my connections) while lying about their backgrounds. It's possible, but not likely. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt here, but I'd certainly caution people to approach with a little skepticism (you always should if you've never heard of the company before). Hopefully someone from Alpha 411 will stop by and leave a comment to clear up any confusion. That seems strange that their phone numbers don’t work.

The amount of effort that they've put into their Recruiting site is the first signal that they're for real. I also forgot to mention in my post that I did some LinkedIn research of the company's management team. It looks like they have legit backgrounds. Their CEO is young, but he did attend your alma mater, Duke. Alex, I had the same concern at first too.

I was never convinced about their legitimacy. Seemed like some fly-by-night "marketing" groups that email me. Hopefully someone at Alpha will see this and comment. That'd be great!
