Type of a scam Employment

I applied to a job on ZipRecruiter.com and heard back from them a few weeks later asking me to complete a written interview. I was then instructed to send in one or 2 references, after doing so I was offered the job, electronically signed the job offer e-mailed to me. Over the next couple of days I was in contact with the HR manager of Nowak Engineering Inc., Antonio Adams. He asked for my full name, my address at home and my telephone number for their records. I applied for an administrative assistant position so he said he was sending a check to purchase office supplies and provide hotel accommodations for those who would be transitioning from Canada to the Lexington, KY office. He also claimed to be sending a laptop but it was in the IT dept installing the proper software. At this point I had a couple of red flags-there were a couple of spelling and grammar mistakes in these "professional" emails. When I received the check, I didn’t deposit it, but I looked up check scams and saw a few that closely correlated with what I was going through.
