Livin' in the US of A

I'm trying to find someone to take over my contract here in Utah for the summer since I'll be moving to sunny California. I posted it on Craigslist and got a few bizarre responses from people in Europe/Russia/you-name-it looking for a place to live in 'the US of A'. They were definitely bogus emails (there's gotta be a scam in there somewhere), because they said they wanted to get a job in the US and wanted to move to my city. I thought, if the entire US is open to you, don't move to Provo!
