I stupidly went to the interview with them and they collected my personal info, including my Name, Address, Cell phone number, Working history and the name of the Bank I’ve been using (just the name and how long I’ve been banking with it). They told me they’d send me a check to purchased for softwares I need to use. After that I realized this was a scam. That person is still contacting me via e-mail to see if I get the check. He uses this e-mail to contact me "[email protected]" and he said his phone number was (860) 506-5367.

What should I do?
