It seems the scammers are back again trying to get SU! demonstrators to place orders with a check, then send them a check for a higher amount and ask them to deposit it and send the difference to someone else.
I have read threads on this scam from 2011 and 2013 and looks like they are back at it again. The email I received is below. You will notice they "from" and "to" to themselves. Several of other demonstrators I know have received these as well. I unknowingly responded with a different mailing address before I realized it was a scam. I have received numerous follow-up emails saying they have sent the check, worried I haven't responded, please email when I get the check, etc. DON'T FALL FOR IT. Report it as phishing or a scam.
