It's a scam. Typically, the scammer will send you a counterfeit cashier's check. Your bank will cash it and put the money in your account. Then, your bank will send the check to the issuing bank. The issuing bank, if it even exists, will deny payment and return the counterfeit check. Then, your bank will debit your account and take the money back. This process can take 2 or 3 weeks or longer, and your bank will not guarantee how long it will take. They will not "clear" the check within any definite time period.
