I just had the same thing happen to me. The name was Kim Chen and the dad Mike Williams. The return address for the check was
Shehnaz Ali
32 Grant Pl
Glen Cove, NY 11542

and I was supposed to send the money to
Jennifer McFarlane-West
445 Shore Parkway
Brooklyn New York 11214.

It's a scam!

I have a 23 year old Chinese girl Named Kim chenn who needs a place and is coming over to the states. She has her "step father" communicating with me as wll attempting to rent my home listed on craigs list. her email is [kimchenn@gmail.com] his is [mike.williams134@gmail.com]. I think that they are both scammers as they give me the run around on when she is coming, when they will meet with me, etc

Hey,
I've received the same reply for my rentals.......Kim Chen and Mike Williams....I assume its a scam! Two years ago there was similar crap coming from Great Britain. I emailed them an application form to fill out....lol....see if I can get them to give me their personal info. Over seas scams are on going. Don't give them any personal information they wanted ie. name, address, PO. Fill your rental with locals its way easier ultimately!!
Sincerely,
Des
