The check (or money order) is fake.
Do not under any circumstances attempt to cash it. Attempting to cash it could get you arrested.
Just cut off all contact with him. We recommend simply ignoring him completely (though he may send threatening emails, and even fake emails supposedly from the FBI or other law enforcement), but if you absolutely don't feel you can do that, just tell him that you have contacted the authorities, you know the payment is fraudulent, and that any further attempts to contact you will be forwarded to law enforcement.
