If you do that, you need to get a letter from your bank stating that the check has totally cleared, and not subject to a future account debit. The scammer is depending on you assuming that the check has cleared because the bank has credited your account. Personally, I have never heard of a bank agreeing to provide a letter stating that the check has cleared.
