I operate a bed & breakfast, so I get these from time to time.  The scammer infomrs you they want to rent a block of nights, and oh - thier company is paying for it via cashier's check so they want your home address (not a p.o. box), and typically they are looking to book just a week or so in advance of thier arrival - but not enough time to allow the fake cashier's check to bounce.
