The typical job scam. They send you fake checks and you are left owing the bank possibly tens of thousands of dollars when the checks bounce.
No phone numbers, no address, no website (though that's no guarantee that a company is real), free webmail addresses and accepting checks and paying back by Western Union = scam

Even worse, the bank can then report YOU, not the scammer for cheque fraud.

The scam repies on the fact that the bank will show the balance in your account, even though the cheque hasn't cleared yet. It still takes them an age to discover that the cheque is forged or stolen, by which time the 90% you sent to the scammer is long gone.

Wow! I need you and thank you for the information.

I am SO GLAD YOU BURST MY BUBBLE

So I can close this chapter with no more fretting, right? Thanks so much for your help.
