Type of a scam Employment

I was contacted via email and was told my information was obtained through the employment website Indeed.ca, that I recently was searching for part time jobs on. I was offered a position and was sent a probation ten day contract to fill out (Name, address, phone number, dob, email, shifts available to work) and send back and was then given a phone interview. I was asked to post a job to indeed as my first task, and could not verify the information they asked me to post. Thereafter, I received an email from indeed of my employer status to post jobs being disabled. The following day for my second task I was asked for my bank, account holder, email, and atm withdrawal limit. I was told a client of theirs would send me an email transfer to buy bitcoin to post on paid websites. I told them they have my email and it’s unnecessary to provide the rest. I did not provide any other information and felt like it was a scam. After carefully inspecting the website closer I noticed little discrepencies in the form of spelling, the address they provided online I believe was commercially not available yet. Not sure I’m in Mississauga and their head office is supposedly in Vancouver. And I was told they have another office opening in Mississauga in two weeks, however, I could not verify if the office was actually there and their digital footprint was very limited.
