Type of a scam Employment

I applied for a job on indeed. I received a email message from the above mentioned email, stating I wasn’t selected for the position I apply for at a dental company, called Sally Dental, here in New Orleans, La. I was told a top client was interested in my skills, and wanted to offer me a position,which involved handling finances, paying bills, running errands, and booking flights. The scammer stated she was a retired real estate attorney, who travels frequently. I was mailed a fake check in the amount of 2,495.35, made out to me and instructed to deposit it in my account, and let the scammer no when the funds where available. Thank God that I realized it was a scam. I emailed the scammer, informed the person not to contact me, and that I would report the scam to the local police department.
