Living well Health Solutions Mule scam desguised as job offer Internet

The bad part is they were pretty smart. 1) They used a real company name, Living well solutions. 2) They used modern technology for the interview, Google Hangouts. 3) They asked common interview questions; US citizen?, Handicapped?, Why would you be a good candidate? , What are your strengths and weaknesses?4) They asked if I was familiar with common business software. Red flag #1 was when they said I was hired without an in person or second interview. Red flag #2 was what I thought to be too much $ for the position. The final tip off was when they wanted to send me a check in order to have me "buy" the software to be loaded on the laptop they would send me. The software would have to be purchased from their online vendor using bank transfer. I was supposed to keep $100 as a signing bonus. That is a "Mule Scam". Up to three weeks after I would "buy" the software, using a bank transfer, the bank would alert me to the fact that the check was bad, and I would be screwed, never to hear from them again. This morning I attempted to call the number listed for legitimate company to advise they that their good name was being used by scammers, and that number was disconnected. I got the company info from the Bloomberg website. So scammers are getting smarter, or (and I hope this is not the case) I am getting dumber.
