It is a scam. This is very common to various MLM's. What happens is the "client" sends a text message or email to a consultant asking for a large amount of product, but wishes to send a check for more than the amount owed. The fraudulent client then asks the consultant to send the remainder of the money to them.
Here's the problem, though. The cashier's check is fake. So, were I in your shoes, instead of attempting to cash the check, I would take it to my local authorities.

i am an independent beauty consultant for a major company. i leave brochures various places. i got a text on my phone from a person identifying themselves as ALEXANDRA HILLS. she said she wanted to order some products. she also said she would mail me a certified check. the products, with tax, would come to around $200.00. today i got a check in the mail, looked legitimate. i googled the return address CAPITAL PUBLIC RADIO,SACRAMENTO and it is legit. i then googled the name on the check ELCAM INC, ST MARYS, PA. that was also legit. yet, the check was in the amount of $2450.00. WOW!!!
i texted ALEXANDRA that the check amount was wrong. she has not yet contacted me. i fear this is a scam.
