Received LinkedIn message from actual contact: Hi My Name

I endorsed you for a great position/side-gig which pays well. It is a great way to make an additional income during this period. Please read the details and apply if interested. I have been doing it since August 2019 at my free time and just a few minute is required in a week.

Followed link and provided name, address, and email information, they replied via email that I was accepted and they would send a check for $1850 to buy 3 $500 gift cards, and I would be paid $350 commission by sending review of services and pictures of card PINs. The cards would be used for additional assignments to buy merchandise later. Checked with my LinkedIn contact who told me it was a scam that hacked his message account and was reported to LinkedIn security. Meanwhile, received the check in amount of $1860.30 from Gloria Arvo with address of 8511 Dogwood Lane, Warren MI 48093, issued by Extra Credit Union. Did not cash check.
