[問題] 請問一下這有可能是詐騙嗎?

[edgarlee (From Now, ON!)]

我在craiglist以及我們學校的網站
post要把我apartment出租的過程中
收到了兩封信
很巧  都來自英國
也很巧都說他或是他爸媽有client在美國有欠他錢
會請他的client開money order或check給我
然後請我把多的退回去給他們
我是不敢100%確定這是怎麼一回事
不過我想根據常理判斷  這八九不離十是個scam

以下附上兩封信的原文
也請大家多多注意相關的情形
小心為上

第一封
Thank you, how much is the total cost for the rent of 3month because my client
will issue out the check of $3000 i want the remain balance to be send down
back to me in united kingdom
regard
jean smith

第二封
Thanks for getting back to me. I am okay with what you have said,
I have to take up the place.I am ready to pay $363 the amount you mentioned as
rent.
I will like to pay this and secure the room. I will let you know the exact move
in date when the deposit must have gotten to you and all arrangements concluded.
I really need the place secured because i wouldnt want to get stranded on my
arrival and that is the basis of the payment before my arrival. The former room
i was to live in was given out because i did not pay deposit to secure the room.
I dont intefer into other peoples businesses. I like to respect their privacy.
I am a clean person and trustworthy too.

As regards payment my mom has a client in the USA that owes her some money,
he has made out money order for the amount he owes my mom before he travelled
out of the States for a business trip, but it is more than your actual deposit
i will pay to you,He will have to send the Money Order to you,You will cash and
send the balance back to me  when you have deducted your deposit,this will take
care of my flight ticket and other necessary arrangements before coming.I need
the name as you want it to appear on the US Money Order and also the address to
send the Money Order . Money order sent within USA  will clear instantly.Money
order does not clear in England  and even if it does it takes much more longer
time.Please kindly get back to me ASAP.Hope to hear from you soon.Thanks
and have a nice day.
Regards.
Maria.

大概是這樣  我是第一年來唸書  沒遇過這樣情形
如果這情況蠻常見的不是詐騙
也麻煩告知我一下:)
我也怕我是少見多怪  呵呵
