Type of a scam Employment

I’m a newcomer to Canada, and so I was applying for many jobs online. One day, I get this job offer to work online for a recruiting company, and the salary was very high, so immediately I was more than happy to take the job. I first had to do the training for 10 days, which was what they called my "probation period", and everyday we had to do a task. I only got to do two, the first being, posting a job offer on Indeed, and the second one being, receiving $1500 in the bank through INTERAC e-transfer (which works when you give only your name, your email,and the address of the bank you use) and depositing it in a Bitcoin ATM for a client. Now I looked up a lot of things about bitcoins because I didn’t know whether to trust them or not, and they seemed trustworthy, it seemed like a lot of people use them no problem, but what I constantly scold myself for is that it never came to my mind, I never asked myself, not once, why they would have me do it, instead of doing it themselves, if it wasn’t illegal. Now, after I stopped receiving emails from them, and because I wasn’t paid whatsoever, I realized that it is indeed a fake company. Anyways, I’ve learnt my lesson, I’m never going to go near an online job unless it’s on a big trusted website like Upwork or Freelance. Be careful who you talk to online, not everyone is going to be genuine.
