Maybe they are thinking you are a single male and would be excited to have a single 20 something year old nurse moving in. Something bad happens to her, she asks for some money and the lonely guy sends it.

You ask for $500, they send a check for $2000 "accidentally" and ask you to deposit it and send the $1500 back. After you send the $1500 back to them you find out the $2000 was fake and now you owe the bank $1500

"Oh Sorry this is a check for 2000, I will rip it up and you can void it. Send another please"

Maltinal wants you. What Maltinal forgot to mention is he is a male nurse and wants you to pet his african mamba.
