Total money lost $400

Type of a scam Employment

Harry Cannes called and offered a work at home job for the company Outware, mobile software industry located in Australia. Claimed offices were not set up in Los Angeles yet. He explained I would be interviewing with the head of HR for Outware, Melissa Moore. We spoke on Google chat. I was to be given a laptop and a check via Fed Ex to purchase software from their vendor for the work I was to do. The $ 2800.00 check arrived via Fed Ex. I deposited check and my bank put a 5 day hold on check. Melissa Moore who is the HR person(also on Linked IN) at Outware communicated to me via google hangout, that I had to proceed sooner and asked me to commence purchase with what money I had. It was a persistent texting to me that morning to deposit the funds quickly. I was to send my $500 to an Egege Joseph in Nigeria via money gram. I was not able to proceed with the sending of my $500 and realized this must be some type of scam. The check was returned as a Frozen/blocked acct. I lost money from work hours lost, gas and bank fees!! NO contact # works for these scammers now!! there are more images i can give you from the contacts that were made.
