Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I was contacted on Let Go by someone named Roland Williams who wanted to buy some of my items. We agreed on a total price of $150.00. He said he was moving to my city and would send me a check that I could cash and once it cleared the bank he would have his movers pick up the stuff. So I gave him my address and he sent a check. The check I received was for $1650 dollars and was from a company named *** in *** Ct. Since I work in Finance and have experience with bank requirements for what real checks look like I realized immediately it was fake check. For instance the account numbers on the bottom did not line up in the proper place and their was no remittance advice attached which is typical with a real company ck. Also the back details were not correct. I am not sure how the scam would have played out but the person had also disabled their account on Let Go. I assume if I had deposited the check and gave the money to the so called movers that it would have eventually bounced and I would have been out the whole $1650. So Beware!!
