Someone wants to pay me, but not in person, but they don't have internet, how?
Someone keeps telling me that they want to pay me some money. I have pretty much written this off as an excuse,but to get this over with I would like to make this as easy as possible for them to pay me.
I don't want them to know my full name or account number, just my email and my first name they have so far. I was thinking that they could go to a check cashing place and deposit money there under a certain account number, then I could retrieve that money, or use moneygram.

My friend, something tells me this is a scam. Why would someone you don't know and who does not owe you any money want to send you money? Tell them to just send you a check and you will deposit it.
I believe this is a phishing attempt to steal your identity from data you provide, and clean out your bank account once they have any type of deposit info.

Way don't you ask for a check or a money order mailed to you. It will require your full name, but it makes it very easy for them and you'll get paid quicker.
