Only problem would be that you would be passing fake bills to someone like Western Union or Money Gram which is how they want the money from you.

You do realise that a bank doesn't have to honour a postdated check... and that it will give the scammers your info to have fun with right?

Post dated checks can be cashed at any time, the date isn't enforced.
