Type of a scam Employment

I received an email first from a Katherine Cannon informing me to please set up a google hangouts account that Mr. Chan would be conducting the interview in this manner. I then had the interview with Mr. Chan. He asked four sets of about 5 questions each. Then he had me wait for about 30 mins at which point he said I was hired. This was all just texting through hangouts. There was no phone call or video chat. It was explained that since I would be working from home that the company would send me a check to purchase the proper equipment and computer programs that I would need. Mr.Chan said he was from KTC Group. I looked this company up and the website seems very legit. I also looked for employee reviews on the company and found some on Indeed.com and glassdor.com. I also was able to find employees on Linkedin website as well. I believe the company exists but these people do not work for them. They sent me a job offer letter on what looked like legit letter head, which I was to sign and email back. I was uneasy with this whole process so I never emailed this back. I didn’t want them to have my signature. They also never asked for anything other than my mailing address so they could fed ex the check to me. I received said check via fed ex and called the bank that it was supposedly issued from. That bank said it was in fact an invalid cashiers check and to not cash it. Mr.Chan had said I was to deposit this check and begin purchasing my equipment from his approved vendors list that he was going to send me later that day. The cashier’s check was from a bank in Oklahoma but the return address on the fed ex label was for Chicago Illinois. I did attempt to reach the company via email but have not received any response nor have I received a failure to deliver notice in my inbox. This company is based out of Singapore.
