Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

We were selling our dining room set on Craigs List and an offer came in for $100 over our asking price to hold it for the buyer. When we received a check in the mail on 9/6/2019 it was $1886 over price. The person stated the extra $1886 would be for the movers as he was located in Georgia. He requested we go to the bank and deposit the check and then remove $1800.00 from our account. He then requested they be 18 $100 dollar bills and mail them Fed Ex.and he would give us the address of the movers. We were at the bank and the assistant manager recognized the check as fraudulent. When the buyer contacted us about going to the bank, we told him the check was no good, we never heard from him again.
