They all have the same telephone number. Google the number. When you google the address, it was a parking lot. A japanese phone number with a Canadian address.

I hope you can catch the scam early to not waste any of your valuable time. The money is all fake. On their proof of funds - they use different names. Hope you can catch these people from wasting out time.
