I answered that I accepted the job and gave them my name and address, but not my DOB, SSN, or bank account number.
After that, I looked up the name of the company of Florida’s corporation registration website, sunbiz.com, to make sure they were registered. It wasn’t there. Meanwhile, my best friend Googled the company and found these complaints, together with this information:

Type of a scam Employment
This person attempted to offer a job opportunity and stated that his company will be relocating to the New York City area and will be opening a new office. He then proceeded with telling me that he needed to buy supplies for the new office and that part of my job will be responsible for purchasing the supplies needed for the office using my personal bank account. He then went on and sent a check to my address (which was not authentic) because I called the bank the check was from and then he called me asking if I picked up the package and have I deposited to my bank account. Obviously, I knew this was a scam due to the large amount on the check and I have not done any work for them at all.
