Is this a scam?

I'm not saying it's not a scam but when I got my first place my Dad was my guarantor.

I was 17 when my Mom decided she was going to follow a man to Australia and threw my brother and I out of the house on Christmas Eve. When I found an apartment I gave the landlord my Dads phone # and address as he was sending the deposits and rent for the first month. He was also willing to guarantee that my rent was paid at least until I turned 18 or graduated from High School.

So in my circumstances it was legit but this one sounds rather fishy!

Yeah, she was a lot of fun growing up with

Sadly two years later she came to visit and we went with her to Iowa and Cananda to see relatives. She abandon us in the middle of Canada. My Dad was thrilled when he got that phone call too! He wired us enough money to buy bus tickets, it's a Loooong way across Canada, and had $20 left for food for the three day trip. That was a fun time! I've never seen so many drunk Indians in my life and every bus smelled worse than an old ashtray! Some of the bus stations in the middle of Canada were beyond scary places too!
