This is a common scam where they claim they overpaid you or they want you to buy something for them. They send you a check, tell you to put it in the bank and then withdraw the funds to send somewhere by untraceable means (Greendot card, Western union, etc.) You do that and the check turns out to be fake. Then you are out the money adn you have to pay the bank back the amount of the check and any fees. In some cases you could also be charged criminally for depositing that bad check.
