Type of a scam Employment

I received a text message yesterday May 1st 2018 saying this woman name was Faith Douglas she had information for me because there was a job offer that was no less than $35 dollars an hour for a company called TPG Telecommunications. She told me that she was forwarded my information from my resume that someone found online, I have never heard of this company and didn’t apply for this company. She told me that they wanted to interview me and gave me the information I needed to text message a woman on Google Hangout so I emailed the woman and had an interview with her thinking that the company was legit the further down the conversation I found out that the company wasn’t legit and that it was a scam. The name of this woman is Jessica Clark she told me that there was a job offer and then I was hired for it so I was going to take it but some of it seemed fishy to me, I was told that I needed to give them some information like my bank account and other things so I could deposit a check into the account so I can pay for business supplies with their money. I received the check this morning May 2nd 2018 close to $6,000 and I was told to cash the check or deposit into my bank account so we can get started with the job, I contacted a lawyer they told me to file a police report with all of this information so people were aware of what was going on and that I had gotten scammed. I did further research on my own time and the company is a real company out of Australia but people are using this company scam people into a job to personal get information. I got a letter with the check which I will put in a picture below. Both the check and the letter are scam and they are not legit and I can tell. I don’t know how these people got my information but it’s scary that there are people out there like this that scam innocent people.
