Type of a scam Employment

Being down on my luck, I was trying to find work online through various freelance websites recommended to me. I was contacted by this supposed company saying HR wanted to hold an interview online using google hangouts. Supposedly passing the interview at a super fast rate, they said they would send me a check by mail first but the next day, they sent via email. It appears to be a legit check at first glance and since its digital, its hard to put it the test for physical differences. The amount was said to be for a vendor who would use it to purchasr necassary materials and software so I could my work. Excited, I deposited the check and only part ofbit went through. They asked if I had enough to send to the vendor while I waited for the check to clear but I said no, just a little. They told me to proceed to walmart and use the money sending service to send the money to the vendor. Thanks to the awesome people there they informed me why it didn’t seen right. So, going back home i procees to investigate deeper with the information I had acquired and sure enough many others have reported the same applicant interview letter and that it was a scam. I called the bank immediantly to notify them.
