It's a scam.

I'll point out a couple of things (though they aren't all).

Please note that Instant Messaging is a cost and time effective method for indepth interviewing and requires an understanding of the users’ communication etiquette

This is a scammer's attempt to make an excuse for something that is NOT standard practice. Legitimate companies do not hold in-depth interviews via instant messenger. Someone can easily have a friend or relative go online to "interview" for them! Legitimate companies realize that this is one of many risks--and they aren't going to take them.

Legitimate employers actually want to see and speak to you. They also use company email addresses for company business, not yahoo emails.

i got this same exact email i also received the check but im scared to cash it

You should be scared to cash it.

It's fraudulent, and cashing it canland you in a whole lot of trouble. Shred it, deface it, or turn it in to the police. Cut off all contact with the scammers. Don't answer their emails, phone calls, etc.

I recieved that same email accept I did cash one of the checks and now my bank account is overdrawn. What should I do??

Here's what I got:
