Nothing involved in depositing a check can give a scammer the ability to withdraw money from your account. A "deposit" scam involves someone sending you a bad check, a fake money order, a forged cashier's check or something similar. They either make it out for an amount greater than what you requested and they ask you to just send them back the difference or they try and play on your emotions and tell you some story of tragedy and ask you to send them back their deposit money immediately. The goal is to get you to do either of those before your bank notifies you the funds you deposited were no good.
Another scam could be they "try" to send you money through the mail and it never gets to you. They feign exasperation and tell you they will just use the ACH (automatic Clearing House, the system a banks use to transfer funds) to send you the money because it will get you the money overnight. They have you sign some documents to set it up but those documents actually are for them to automatically debit your account, not the other way around.
