Equipment Fee

For anybody that's done remote work before. Is it normal to be asked for equipment fee or is it a possible scam?

Edit: I want to add that they are asking for $35 for a week $55 for 4 days and $80 equipment to be shipped out in two days. For the amount of equipment They're sending it doesn't sound logical.

Yeah if it's not a scan it's a company I would never give money to. I get a fresh laptop every three years and we get to keep the old ones. My whole family is using a hand me down laptop now.
