Work from home job scam : Never ever thought it could happen to ME

Damn guys let me tell you about something. Work from home job scam JUST HAPPENED TO me ! Im a Software technician and Ive been telecommuting for about 6 years now. I just recently lost my job and so am in the market. They found me off one of these sites where I made my resume 'public' They said they worked for a major business and due to overhead needed to hire telecommuters. After a two day interview over the live chats, which seemed coherent enough, they said I was the right fit for the position. An admin and customer support spot for a large pharmaceutical company. Then sent me a- overnight paid for- fed ex package with a check inside. This check was for over $3000 and I will be honest with you all, I need the funds bad right now... Im LIKE wtf ?! I just received an eviction notice for my apartment and I am a single mother with two kids and a dog.
I called the banks name on this check they sent which they claimed was for "materials needed for work" ( but was really a Chinese based website for laundering USD moneys. . lol ) and they said it was fake. surprise SURPRISE, No such cashiers check number found.

Thats right folks, NO such number. No such Zone. They Presley'ed me good , cept for the one saving grace, I of course, I did NOT deposit that check. Dont do it. I reported them, It should be over for them. IC3 Baby thats what they do
