The person gave me a job interview

Over chat on google hangouts, I was hired right away. They told me to come back the next day for more info, they said they would send a cheque to buy products for the training. I deposited the cheque and they told me to buy gift cards with the money that was available with the cheque the gift cards would be so they can install the software I needed for training, I bought them and they asked for the code on the back which I gave them they asked me to buy more with my own money and it would be remibursed through the check.

Type of a scam Employment

I was first contacted June 25, 2019. I received a text message from a Mr. Willianson Dave. He explained that my resume on Indeed came to their attention and they were reaching out with a job offering that pays $29.75 to $35+ bonuses hourly. He then sent me information about the company Avis Budget Group out of New Jersey. Then he wants to move the conversation to Google Hangouts. He went on to explain that conducting interviews this way (via text) was somehow keeping up with all of the technological advances we constantly experience. So I went along. He told me what positions were available and asked which one/s I was interested in. I told him. He then asked me about my mailing address, email address, and cell phone number. All of this went back and forth for days. I had a feeling that all of this was a scam. But I did receive a Cashiers Check for $2500.00. I began looking into this and came to the ScamPulse.com where sure enough, it’s a scam. You can read the conversations.
