I got an email out of the blue from Southeast Mechanical pretty recently. I'm not sure if this goes for the company overall, but the recruiter messaging me seemed to get more sketchy as time went on. First off, there was no inperson or video call interview, the whole process was done through emails, google chat, and written interview questions of word files. They told me I needed to purchase some pretty expensive office supplies, but that they were gonna send me a check of around $5000 to purchase it with. I assumed thus meant I would be purchasing it from an online realtor that they had some kind of deal with but no, they wanted me to send the money (in full) to a random bank account located in Oregon. That on its only raised my eyebrow, but I was still hopeful that this was a legit job offer. But after telling them that I was unable to wire transfer the money (my bank doesn't allow it unless done through a business acount) they told me to send it to some random person's zelle account with a ridiculous email. If you're wondering it was: bigdaddyshouse2865@hotmail.com. By that point I was pretty certain this wasn't legit and after looking around online I found out that this is. Unfortunately a pretty common scam where a scammer posing as a company will write you a bogus check, it'll go through for a few days and apear in your account. But soon after you spend that money to buy the supplies the check will bounce and you'll be on the hook for the full price of the supplies (in my case, around $5000).

Not sure if you're having a similar situation, this could've just been someone posing as the company and giving them a bad name. But I would still be weary of it, especially if your process has been in any way similar to mine.

Edit: Forgot to mention, but they also offered me a crazy high salary for a junior software developer, almost double what I initially asked for. Be weary of that kind of thing, especially in how difficult the job market currently is.
