Internet research leads me to believe that the way it works is that the scammers are keen to book multiple lessons and maybe accomodation via you and pay as soon as you quote a price. The cashiers cheque (?) you receive can be banked, but is way higher amount than what you quoted.
The scammer then seeks a refund of the accidentally overpaid amount.
Later on the bank advises the cheque you received was bogus.
