More details to this question:
I took part in part of a survey from one of those companies on FB. They sent me a check for $125 for taking the survery and now they want it. They sent me an email a couple of weeks ago stating I should receive the check in 10 days or so. When I received it, it was made out to cash. I asked if there would be a problem with me cashing it and they said no. The check also has my name and address on it. Do I have to send it back?

I suspect this is a scam. Once you deposit the check it will be dishonored down the road by your bank. If you send them the $125 befor you have learned of the bank dishonored the check (which can take a couple of weeks) you will be responsible to pay your bank back the funds.
