Please help! Is this a scam?

I am starting up a cleaning business and I got an email asking if I was relible and honest. I responded and this is the email I got in return.
Hello, How are you doing today? I'm Robert Ankeny 50yrs and I'll like you to clean my house and get $300 weekly and I'll be paying you $300 via Bank Certified check or Money Order Weekly and I would provide you the cleaning supplies... The house you would be cleaning is located in your city and you would be cleaning 2 times a week (Friday and Saturday)..So i'll want you to get back to me with your (Name, Address with APT #, City, State, Zipcode and Cell Number) to send you the check Today and you would receive it on Monday Via USPS and i'll tell you what to do next after you have got the check..

Thanks.. I'll be waiting to read back from you

Hello,

Yes this has all the hallmarks of an overpayment check scam. The check would be made out for more than the $300 probably by a couple thousand. The scammer would ask you to send the overpayment through western union after you cash the check. Later you would find out the check was fake from your bank and be responsible for paying all the money back.

Glad you got suspicious!

Thank you so much so the fast reply!! It's really a shame how sick people are. When I got the first email just simply asking if I was honest and relible I thought it was strange. What really makes me sick is that I told this person about myself. That I'm a single mom working a part time job and that's why I decided to start my own business. I believe in Karma and I know he or she will get theirs one day!!! Thanks again!!
