Take some advice Chris.

A real cashier's cheque would clear immediately. The cheque he will send is a forgery. It may or may not clear but either way it will be picked up and the bank will reverse the $350. With this scam he's playing on potential greed by offering $100. From the scammer's perspective he's trying to sucker you into depositing his $1 forgery and sending him $250 irreversibly through Western Union. Now that I've read further I see the forgery is for $2000 to try to blind you with greed. Either you try to rip him off and send $250 or you try to be honest and send him $1900. Either way it's a big win for the scammer and you wouldn't see the money ever again.

In short it's an old scam, throw the fake cheque away.
