Sure it's a Nigerian scam, exactly that, they sen you a check that looks like for real, just that it's a fake, and in the en you'll cash no money, but it takes a bit until the bank calls you for that, that it's a fake, and in the meanwhile if you send them money via western union or money gram, bye bye money, it's gone for good. Any advance payment or wire payment against check payment, is lost money for you.
Another thing they try is to tell you they want to purchase goods from your online site, by check, they need a proforma invoice, and if you send them that, they will fake it in the future to steal your identity to scam other people. Of course, you'll never ever see any money from them, maybe just another fake check.
