Hi Traci,
Unfortunately this sounds like a scam. A true professional employer would provide you with the tools themselves instead of asking you to buy it with a check...
A fake check scam means that they send you a check that you use and buy things with, but soon the bank will realize the check was fake and the money will be deducted from your account instead.
Here's a great article explaining scams using this method:
