In addition, you need to be able to use standard Windows based word editing applications and familiar with attaching files to emails etc.

I did do what they asked to confirm my application by registering on jobattack.net. After typing www.jobattack.net I was redirected to www.workfromhomeheaven.com. I had to enter my name, address, and phone number. Immediately after doing this I received another e-mail that read as follows:
Congratulations XXXXX ,
Thank you for your interest. Please contact us at 8884195529.
Yours truly,

I called the 1-888 number was asked to become a member of SMC, which is some sort of company that helps people start businesses from home. I asked them about the $13.00/hour job posting and was told by the operator that they had been getting a lot of calls concerning this and that they knew nothing about it. I believe this was just a very indirect way for SMC/workfromhomeheaven.com to get people's name's and addresses for marketing purposes.
There is no legitimate job offer!

I have seen several of these pop up in my area's local craigslist listing. I dismissed it as too good to be true... and it sounds like i was right. Luckily with this report, no one suffered any damage or loss from this; only the disappointment of a not getting a great-sounding job.
Hopefully this will serve to make sure that others do not waste their time with this company.

i noticed that the original craigslist posting had been removed (it was flagged as prohibited).. that doesn't usually happen on job postings so that is also a good indication that these guys are a total fraud...
