Applied at Anapole Technologies for remote data entry position

I recently received a job offer for a remote data entry position from a company called Anapole Technologies. They mentioned that they would provide me with a check to purchase my home office equipment. When I inquired whether they could send the equipment directly through Amazon or mail, they insisted that this method was a test of trust and a way to evaluate how I would manage funds entrusted to me. I pressed for the opportunity to speak with a manager via Zoom, Teams, or even a phone call, but was told that all communication at this stage is limited to their chat platform (Teams). They stated that once the onboarding process is completed and employees receive their equipment, more communication options would be available. I can't shake the feeling that I'm dealing with a scam, and I'm worried about the legitimacy of this company and the safety of my personal information.
