Guaranteed to be a scam. You are being set up to receive bogus Money Orders. The amount being sent will be for more than whatever value you say is the rental for the room. S/he will make an excuse and ask you to cach the orders and send a balance of the funds somewhere else via Western Union/Moneygram.

This is a typical Overpayment Scam that is used with Money Orders, Gift Cheques, Cashiers Cheques, Business and Personal Cheques.

Agreed it's a scam... unless you know them always deal with someone in person when it comes to money.
