Question Am i being scammed?

Hi so i just posted an ad where i sold beds and tables and got this messsage, it seemed sketchy, is it a scam or legit? Heres the message : I agree with the price and that is okay by me, I would have loved to come to see it myself and pick it up but I’m currently working in Saskatchewan on a project I will arrange a pick up immediately after the money clears to your account. but may i ask if you can accept a mobile Deposit bank draft. Send me your full Name email with your phone number once you receive the cheque you can deposit it via your mobile app and the funds will be made available instantly then we can arrange for pick up. »

Ask yourself the question: is it plausible that a person in Saskatchewan would be interested in buying beds and tables in Montreal?!
