I bet the scammer claimed he was interested in having his wedding planned, and the check sent was to cover the expense for this but the amount sent was in excess for some obscure financial reason, so the difference needed to be sent back to him or his associates and he would even include a fee for your trouble.
This seems to be the new tactic in scamming. They find out what you do and target you on that basis. This is how I was scammed. I am a tutor; the guy claimed he wanted a tutor for his daughter and asked me all kinds of details about my background, experience, and scheduling in order to make himself seem legitimite.
not a new tactic, a very old tactic
