Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I found this position listed on INDEED.com for a customer service representative afternoons and evenings under part-time. I was responded back by Indeed and that the employer will reach out. The first red flag was that he wanted communicate via email and Google Hangouts for any and all communication. They sent me a check in the amount of $3945.00 to purchase equipment and software needed for the job and told me to keep $100 for good faith.

Another flag was rushing to get the check deposited and send a copy of the deposit receipt. I then stated that I would have the funds verified with the bank withdrawn from before I deposited the check. They informed me everything is legit and I should have no problems. I deposited the check which has a 2 day hold and and the bank account is a "fake" and the cashier’s check is computer generated. I reached out to the CFO and the HR manager about my findings; only to not hear back from them.

I only lost withdrawal fees from my bank because I didn’t use any of the monies.
