OMG! I got one too and I responded not knowing. I didnt place order as "she is sending me a certified check". Then , here's the kicker, I got an email saying "I am so mad at my boss, instead of sending the order amount, he sent a check for all the money he owed me to you" etc. ended up with them saying "Can I trust you to send the rest of the money minus the order amount to me because I owe money to my engineer for doing plumbing?" the last time I checked, engineers don't do plumbing. If the fake check arrives, I am going to send it back with a note saying thanks, but no thanks.
