Good call. I called up Central Christian College. This person (a bob pemo with a gmail adress) isn't on staff! Further naling it as a scam in so far as the Bursars office was conerned they'd have used a university email adress and not have taken it as an afront when wanting assurance it's legit. They thanked me for reporting and want me to keep the check around for possible criminal investigation purposes, as well as to keep an eye out on my cell phone in case they have any questions.
