Answer 1

Your posting is not understandable.  What exactly did she respond to, what personal information was sent, how do you know it's a scam and what check are you talking about?

Answer 2

This all depends on what kind of personal info she sent them. If it is simply name and adress, I wouldnt worry too much about it.  When you get the check you could take it and a copy of any email correspondence she has had with these people to the police station and file a fraud report I suppose. Because the check was mailed, it will most likely be turned over to the postal police since they have jurisdiction. But the likelyhood that they can do anything about it is slim to none. They have tons of check fraud by mail scams every day to deal with.   The main thing here is what kind of information did she give them? If her social security number was involved then you have something to worry about.
