Legal Question in Consumer Law in Idaho

Possible check and internet fraud
I am seeling a diamond over the internet. I have a buyer who says he is from the U.S. but is in paris now on work. I am selling the diamond for $5,500. The buyer has sent me an echeck, however, it is for $7,500 and told me(did not ask if I would) to sent the remaining money to his friend in niceragua along with the diamond. I went to his bank to cash the check and they said since the check is from a buisiness account so it can only be deposited for funds. I deposited the check into my bank account with out really thinking it through. The check has just cleared, however, I am feeling like something is not right. What can happen if I send the diamond and money? Can he retract his check from my account once everything is sent? This is seeming like something is not right and I need advice on what my next move should be. Is this resembling some scam that is out there that I am now in the middle of?
