Have all my info and started changing Facebook passwords

They stole a friend's info. Thought I was talking to her. An interview was given via text and I was hired. Then told me about giving all my passwords for FB and open a bank account. Did it all then got super nervous. Started messaging girl and turned out it wasn't her at all. Scam 100% using legit Appen name. I'll be contacting them too.

Amanda Kleinfeldt from LinkedIn (link below) contacted me asking if I would like to work for the Appen company. The interview was held on Skype chat with another person called James Allen. Emails were sent to me with forms and links to fill out and upload documents, such as SSN, Driver's license and Proof of address. Once sent, the interviewee said that they are going to send me a computer and that I need training. They ask for $200 to pay for the software and training that supposedly they will reimburse. I realized when they asked for money it was a scam. I searched for the company's name beforehand and everything I found suggested Appen was a legit company. However, the scammers site has a slightly different domain "appensjob.com". I didn't lose money, but it is a lot of work to replace my documents.

People' name involved: Anna from Appen Company, Gigi .J | Accountant Dept.

It all started with a facebook classified ad for a work from home job listing. I messaged the person who posted the ad to get more information. Person's name was Karen Pike, said she was from my area with a mutual friend that was my cousin. I asked this Karen all about the company, tried making sure they were a reputable company and so forth. She confirmed that it was no a scam and it was legit, but turns out this person's account had been taken over by this "Appen" company. Person at Appen claimed to be Kerri Reynolds. They sent me a picture of her badge.

I have attached the chat that we had and I was able to save. I am concerned because they have a copy of my drivers license also, they know my name, DOB, Ph number and address.
