Home Based Data Entry Job or Scam?

I have been offered a home based data entry job, and it seems like they have hired me. But I am doubtful, could this possibly be a scam? I had an online interview via yahoo messenger. They have asked for my back account so they can send a check which I will use to purchase the necessary software. Can someone help please. Is this appropriate? Should I give out bank information or is this fraud?

Any company that asks you for your bank details at the outset , are fraud ...

Please remember that any employer that hires you, will get you to sign proper documents, you should always carefully check their websites and office details , contact details and read about them on the internet to see what kind of repute they have .. no company ever asks for money from staff unless they are a fraud ..

It's so odd, they always want to have certain information to do certain simple tasks. Thet should give you the idea of how legit they are.
