The only scam I can think of would go like this:

They already know your personal info and your banks routing number.
Now they need your account number. If the check clears then they will get the cancelled check with your account number.
Then they can use that information to do a online check transaction to take the money back plus what ever you have in the account.

I don't really know if that would work but it's the only thing I could think of.

Just thought of one more. They already have all your personal info including SSN.
Now with your bank account number they can complete a cedit application in your identity and get a loan for $5000. So they want that check to clear.

But this still seems hard to pull off, but I don't really know.
