You're right; this could happen anywhere. Also from article:

Another South Florida couple fell victim to the scam in January after they posted an online ad for a Miami apartment to rent. They were contacted by a “student” from London stating he or she was interested in the apartment and would send a cashier’s check for the rent. The check was for $2,500 more than the $1,000 the renters asked for. The “student” asked the couple to wire the difference back, saying the overpayment was a mistake. After wiring the money back, the couple realized the original check was fraudulent and they had lost their $2,500.
