Check out this E-mail trail re: my apartment ad on Craigslist. Am I right to be skeptical?

From Him:
I would like to know if the property you listed is still available and with regards to the property I am inquiring about, I will like to get some more details about it, I am currently in the Uk and I am Relocating down to the US to do a survey for my employer ( MMH Insurance Group (UK), as we are about to open an office in the state, so due to my non presence to inspect the Property, I will like you to give me the below details,

# I need full details including address of the property and pictures if available for the place.
# Monthly rentals/security deposits.
# If utilities is added to monthly rent.
# When the property would be available.
# Mail me the total move in cost.

From Me:

  1. see pictures at PEER Apartments.
  2. $700/ month for 12 months. $1000 deposit.
  3. +$50-$100 for electricity
  4. Available now.
  5. Total (first, last, and deposit) move-in = $2400
But first, you must apply and pay the $20 application fee.

From Him:

I want the lease to start on the 10th Jan 2009, I will also want to
notify you that I have in the mean time arrange with an interior
decorator who will be handling the purchase of furniture's,
entertainment system and other appliances that I will need in the
property, they will as well be in charge of moving down my luggage's
down to the states. So the check of $5,350 will be sent over to you
which is a relocation grant by my employer, and all you need to do is
deduct the deposit $2400 and you will forward the rest to the
Decorators so I can have the place all prepared for my arrival. All
applications and lease will be signed as soon as I arrive.
Also for familiarization I Am Chang Lee, I am 37 yrs of age, a British
citizen, married to a lovely lady, with a daughter, I work with MMH
Insurance Group (UK), as a loss adjuster agent, I am a Christian,
reserved in Nature, Non smoker also i don't keep pets....
Below is my present landlords information for reference :

From Me:
Unfortunately, the Nigerian money scam is well-known all over the world. Good luck. I hope you can find an honest career one day soon.

From Him:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

From Me:
Sorry, it's a well-known scam. You can apply for the apartment just like everyone else. My apartment: my terms. I would recommend not participating in this fraud. Prison sucks. Until I receive your properly filled out application (with application fee), I will not hold the apartment for you. I require credit and background checks of my tenants.

From Him:
OK SEND ME THE APPLICATION FORM SO THAT I CAN HAVE IT FILLED FOR YOU
TO HOLD THE APARTMENT FOR ME.

From Me:
I have sent the link. It is available for download at my website. Send it to the address provided with your $20 application fee. Thank you for applying.
