Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

We were selling an entertainment center on Craigslist for $500. My husband was contacted by a woman “Catherine Linville” who said that she would be sending movers to pick it up and that they required cash at pick up. She said she would send a cashier’s check for the $500 for the entertainment center plus money to pay the movers. The cashier’s check arrived and it was for $2,250. We asked the woman if she meant to send that much and she said that the movers were picking up additional items along the way and it was fine. On closer examination the check was from a bank in California but was mailed from New York from “Deluxe Corporation” which does not exist on the internet. The check was also signed by Thomas Jefferson.
