The check is not real.
Do not cash this check.
Do not send any money to anybody.
Do not contact these people.
This is a pure scam.
If you cash the check and send the money they require, you will be contacted by your bank in a couple of weeks telling you that the check is bad, and you need to repay the bank. Of course you don't have the money anymore, so your financial position will become even worse.
Rule of thumbs:
1. No reputable company will pay you before services are rendered.
2. When a company asks you to transfer money via Western Union, it it because that money becomes untraceable.
