Type of a scam Employment

I FOUND THIS JOB POSTED ON OHIOMEANSJOBS IT WAS EXPLAINED AS AN ADMINISTRATION POSITION FOR A REAL ESTATE COMPANY, I WAS CONTACTED BY THEM BY EMAIL AND WAS TOLD INTERVIEW WOULD BE DONE ON HANGOUTS WITH A MS *** ***. WHEN INTERVIEW WAS DONE I WAS TOLD I WAS HIRED AND WOULD RECIEVE A LETTER FROM HR DEPT. WITH ALL THE SPECIFIC DETAILS. RECIEVED, SIGNED AND SENT BACK, I WOULD HAVE 1 WEEK OF TRAINING AND I WOULD BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE DISPATCH COORDINATOR, BUT I NEED TO BUY A SOFTWARE $49.99 AND BUSINESS CHECKS $29.99 AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED WHEN RECEIVED FIRST PAY CHECK. TRAINING CONSISTED ON HOW TO USE A DESIGNER CHECK AND SEND THEM TO THE ADDRESS THEY WOULD SEND DAILY ON A FEDEX ACCT. THERE IS NO EXTRA INFORMATION ADDED TO EACH ENVELOPE, JUST THE CHECK AND THE ONLY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION IS BY HANGOUTS. DIDNT SEEM RIGHT, LOOKED UP INFORMATION AND THE ScamPulse.com (ScamPulse.com) DOESNT HAVE THEM REGISTERED AND ALREADY HAS A SCAM COMPLAINT VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, LOOKED UP ***AND THEY ALSO HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS UNDER THE SAME ISSUE. ANOTHER SET OF PEOPLE ARE USING *** ** AND/OR *** AS AN EXCUSE TO HIRE WHEN THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACHOTHER.

Type of a scam Employment

I have been placing many resumes and applications online. I was notified by email that I have been selected for interview/ briefing exercise and to contact Tamara Nelson via Hangout chat app. Upon contacting her, I was told that she was hiring for Optum Rx and gave me company information, pay scale, etc. After interview I was approved and hired. Company HR sent me a Letter of Employment that I was to sign and send back. I was informed that training would start as soon as I order and receive Apple laptop with required installed software. Cashiers check was sent to me $3,410.10 from Citizens Bank Chillicothe, MO for me to deposit and upon clearance I was to send $3200.00 to computer vendor. This left $110.10 as a "sign on bonus" for me. After cash money wired to instructed parties, I was informed an update needed to be added and another check was on its way to cover installation. Upon receipt of second check in the amount of $4315.50 from PNC Pittsburgh, PA I checked my bank account to find the first check had bounced leaving me to pay my bank the $3300!! Fed Ex packages came out of NYC Property Management Group, Rockefeller Plaza, NY, NY. Police report made but there is nothing they can do to stop these heartless scammers.
