Hi Chris,
I'd have to agree with you on this one... these types of scammers are very well known amongst online accommodation websites. I've heard of many people falling victim to them both here in Aus and in the US.
Many websites advise people to be wary of things like overseas/absent owners, needing to sort things quickly, paying deposits - especially to Western Union, etc.
It's a good thing he has someone to help watch out for him... even if he doesn't appreciate it yet!
Cheers,
Dave
