Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I had received an email saying they need a logo for their company and that they would send me a casher check because they had recently been hacked and it was the only way. I said it was ok and then a few days later I get an email saying there was a mix up with the check. That his employer combined two other services payment with my payment and that he couldn’t do anything because his employer had just left to Canada for a business trip. Once they would send it that I should deposit the check and keep my payment and send the rest of the payment to the other services. (this gave me some red flags because a company would never do that) I said ok and if they could send me the other addresses to the other services but they never sent them to me. Once he sent me the tracking number he again suggested that, once I got the check to deposit it right away. He then messaged asking if I had seen his email. I told him I did but it was possible that I might be withdrawing from the project due to an emergency that had came up. He questioned it and I told him I would give him an update once I had received the check. I received the check and the check was way more than what i had asked for, so I did some research on them and I didn’t find any information on the company or business.So I sent him an email saying I was withdrawing from the project and I was going to return the money. He then messaged me and insisted that I still deposit it into my bank. I told him i wouldn’t because I didn’t do the job and that it is unprofessional if I did that.And I asked him if he wanted me to mail it back or shed it for him.
