It is not simply between you and God whether or not you obey the Commandment of the Church to support the Church. Violating any commandment affects all of us. In any case, I understand that the priest desires that you not cause scandal to your neighbor by giving the appearance that you are not supporting the Church.
YOU, however, are not in any position to judge whether any given person is violating said commandment. People need to stop making assumptions about who's committing what sin. This isn't about actual "scandal" but about people looking for reasons to look down their nose at others ... without even having all the facts. And the stupidity of this is compounded, since if people are not giving after the implementation of the electronic contribution, then it's possible/likely that they are giving that way and the fake envelope thing is just stupid.
GottA keep that money flowing in. The Mercedes Benz fund,er um stained glass restoration (ahem cough cough) obviously is running low
