If you do as instructed by the sender, it will bounce and you will have to repay every penny to the bank. Never ever send money via money gram or green dot as these are untraceable. Fake checks can also get you into legal trouble. Turn it over to your local postmaster or the FBI. Sending fake checks through the mail is illegal.

The same has happened to me, but using a different name.
