Room for Rent and other rental scams

The scammer starts by asking of the availability. Then responds back with below. In short this is the <fake> check scam. This person even instructs you to send the remainder back to their flight manager. Nice try scammer!

Thanks for the response,am okay with the price and explanation. Well here are few things you need to know about me:
Name:- lissa clark
Sex :- female
Age;- 28
Citizenship:-Switz.
Place of Birth:- Zurich,Switzerland.
Profession:-PA(Personal Assistance)

Marital Status:-Single
Cleanliness:- Very clean
Hobbies:Movies,Reading,Soccer,Traveling.

For the payment that is not a problem at all. My boss will be responsible for all my payment all I have to do is to confirm the amount of the room including the utilities and then get it sent to him including the information of the person which the payment will be
issued to. So all I require of you is for you to send me your:
FULL NAME:
FULL ADDRESS:
ZIPCODE:
CITY:
STATE:
PHONE:
EMAIL:
So that I can forward it to my boss because my boss will be paying for the rent, my flight and some other things ,so all you have to do is that as soon as you receive the check he
will send, You will deduct your rent fee and the utilities from it and then get the rest back to my flight manager so that my ticket can be booked. Waiting to hearing from you. I will want all this information for quick payment asap pls.

Thanks
Lisa
