I got a check like that once. I took it to the bank and explained to them the situation. They told me that the check would probably bounce, and I would be responsible for any fees and the faux deposit would be deducted from my bank account. I thought that THEY would notify the authorities, but they said that they didn't do that, and advised me to notify the police.

This is very similar to the "I'm a Prince from Nigeria" emails that used to go around.
