So whats the scam here?:

Trying to sell a bed frame on Kijiji, have it listed for $150. Guy texts me right after posting and says he'll take it. Guy says he is out of town so he'll have his 'movers' pick it up (already right here I know it's gonna be a scam). Asks for my email address and full name so he can send me the money. I give him my email address (which is pretty much my name), and what does he do instead of a simple etransfer? He sends me a PDF version of a cheque in the amount of $350, that he tells me to print off, then mobile deposit on my phone. Obviously I told him to F off.

So all in all here, whats the scam? If I mobile deposited this cheque, I'm sure I'd just get in trouble from the bank, and I'm not sure he would have anything to take money from me. Also, it didn't seem like he had anyone lined up to pick up the bed frame, so I'm not sure what the deal was here?
