It may take days for it to bounce,

It can take weeks. It seems illogical, but it's the way it works. Often a check is not discovered as fraudulent until a real account owner gets his monthly bank statement and discovers it. In the case of large companies it can take a long time for accounting staff to reconcile the bank statement and find the fake. The person who cashed it is still on the hook.

There is a ton of sound advice in this thread. The deal smells fishy, you are uncomfortable with it, so just walk.

This dead horse has been beaten far too long by now.
