The check is a fake and it will likely take the bank a couple of weeks to realize that and reverse it. By then, the person who would have taken your money will be long gone and you will also be out any money that you have spent. If that would have resulted in a negative balance, you would have been liable for the fees and if the people at the bank were in a really bad mood, they may have pressed fraud charges. It's a good thing that you realized that this wasn't legitimate.
