Received a proposal today. The ad did not indicate specific software would need to be purchased. I kindly replied indicating although I am interested, I could not invest the money into the software required. In reply, the company indicated they could send me a check for the cost of the software required for the position. Is this typical? I am not interested in being scammed.

This is a scam.
Also, accepting any money outside of Upwork is cause for your account to be terminated.
RUN AWAY!!!
