The scam is part of a money laundering scheme where you deposit the bad check and then forward a payment to a third party.
The check will bounce and you will be held liable for the whole amount.

I just received an update from my financier that the payment has been issued out and will be delivered to you today via USPS Courier. Expected Delivery Day:Wednesday, April 9, 2014. You can Track on usps.com here is the USPS tracking # <removed>

Once its has been delivered do proceed to your bank immediately and have the payment deposit into your banking account to clear and money made available within 24hrs. I also want you to take a picture of the deposit voucher/slip or you can scan it and have it sent to my email. We need this to do our paper works.

Please do prompt me once you've made a deposited. When the money is available, You've to deduct your weekly wages which is $400 the rest of funds $1900 should be send to our specialist. When this is done, he will be instructed to call you, and you both make an appointment on when he will come install the wrap on your car.

After the first week, You will be receiving your weekly pay check for $400 every Friday each week. OK? We are only sending extra funds this time because we need the 1900 for the first week to offset our graphic designer bills.
