Yes, same MK scam. Received a text from April We is under the same pretence. She claims to be doing a photo shoot in my area and wanted to place a MK order. Her company is only using paper money. Her email is the same as you stated. She went as far as to say that they made a mistake with the amount and if I would cash the check and sent the difference via Moneygram to another party. Beware MK sisters..this is a scam!
So we just don't answer and throw away the check? I didnt realize it was a scam until she said they sent out the wrong check and wanted me to send the remaining funds:/
When I got the initial email requesting to order products, I immediately knew it was a scam. However, out of curiosity, I asked her to go ahead and place her order on my website. Naturally, I deleted her from my email. Below is her response:

After forwarding her email to my senior consultant and local MK leader, I emailed her back with the following;
------------------------------
April,
please refer to the following link;

Due to the invalidity of your order, I will not be able to accept your offer to fill an order through me or supply you with my personal information in order for you to mail me a check.
Kindly go screw yourself.

I've been through a similar scam before right up to getting the check in the mail and having the other person demand that I deposit it. I swore after that that I would never be nice to anyone I discovered scamming me again.
I received the same email as you all did here it is..

I also received the same message today and order that Cindy H received in August 2015 from April Weiss. She claimed to be a make up artist that is coming to my town in Feb and wants to place and order directly with me instead of through the website. She has to pay by paper payment which will be paid up front.
Her contact is April Weiss 502-565-0443 claiming to be in Los Angeles CA
