I was sending out resume, using craigslist ads. I got reply, that UK based Car Company is looking for representative in the USA. I was told i am going to have 2 weeks online training. before that was getting check for $1800 -$150 for myself as sing-on bonus, the rest i would've need to transfer to some other person, "vendor", as a payment for my future home office. I received check, it was real, from Bank of America, however, there were no suficient funds to cover the cheque.

It wasn't real

   It was a phony check drawn on a real account that has likely been closed for fraud.

   Anytime someone you don't know sends you a large check, you're being scammed.  What these scammers were hoping was that you wired money (via Western Union or Moneygram, no doubt) to their "vendor" before you found out that the check was no good.   They would have had your money and you would have had to repay the bank.
