Dominic_I'm surprised the scammer has even responded this many times. Figured by now they'd realize it's not going to work and it's time to start looking for a new sucker.

Looks and smells like a scam - Cheque Fraud. You deposit the cheque in the account, it will eventually bounce and you will be out-of-pocket for the money. A few got scammed this way in the Great White North: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/banks-online-scam-fake-cheque-fraud-td-1.6244111

I might be enjoying this as much as you are right now.
Could possibly tell them there was a major issue when you went to deposit it at the bank and you were called into the back to speak to management. The police were called and an investigation was launched concerning the cheque and it's ties to the Russian Oligarchs currently being sanctioned.
The cheque is being placed on hold while Interpol is being contacted and it will be a minimum of two weeks until the situation clears.

That's pretty good, @goosehd , put the fear of God in em. I guess there could be a danger if this unknown individual is trolled too hard, since presumably Giles is not anonymous here?
