Luminous Power Technology san francisco job scam San Francisco California

They emailed me saying they got my application from ziprecruiter. I did not remember applying to them, but followed through with the instructions. I was suspicious and googled the website as well as if there were any previous scams. They wanted me to create a google account (even though I already had one), contact the hiring manager, and do a briefing. When I contacted the person, they wanted to do the "interview" all through a chat. I asked if I would ever be able to talk to a person and they avoided the question. They told me they had a temporary location in Colorado and was going to expand to San Francisco. I googled the address of their location in Colorado and it was an empty location. I decided to go through with the interview for fun. At the end, I was told I would be offered the job and had to send money to a company vendor. I immediately knew this was a scam. Here are some of the replies of the interviewer from the conversation. 

"You've been impressive so far and I think you will be a perfect fit for this position. Hold on online while i send your answers to my superiors for review and consideration. Kindly stay close to your device for 5 - 15 minutes. Okay?"

"After careful consideration, i have good news for you.
