Extract:
"In these cases, the depositor most likely will be held responsible for the entire amount of the fraudulent check."
Instead of cashing the check, or sending it back, take it and the envelope in which it came to the post office. They will use it as evidence and pursue the scammer.
Forgot to add - caller calls himself James Carter. They pose as the NDIVIA corp. They have you deposit a check, send a moneygram, then cancel the original check - leaving you with the debt.
