Just another heads up on scammers MO. They will offer you work to translate documents (they’re also offering these same documents to other translators).

A day later or sooner they get back to you telling you they approved your fee. More than likely they will send you a cashiers check.

Your scenario doesn't work. because this way the scammer couldn't earn any money at all.
The scenario is different. They send you a check stating an amount that is a little bit higher than your fee. Then they tell you that it was mistake or what have you and ask you to refund the overshooting money to them. So a good advice is not "don't deposit the check" but "don't send money to them".
