Just had someone try to scam me

I am moving for a new job and transferring schools. There are a few houses I am looking to rent. One really stood out so I contacted the email and number given on Trulia. Turns out the dude is a complete scammed after talking to the real owner and scheduling a tour of the house.
Guy wouldn't stop referencing God, family, and getting the money as fast as possible. He said he lives in Poland and would send the keys via a courier after receiving the money.
What should I do? I have his number, Email, and his "name."

Lol that scam is so common.

I think you should hurry up and send him your money. You can't miss out on this deal, son.

Nothing. Move on. Your first sentence doesn't make any sense.

If you want to keep posting here, don't post that information. Just a heads up.

Make sure the English department is up to snuff at the new school, apparently the one at your old school was underfunded.

What?
I assume his phone autocorrected "scammer" to "scammed."

You should put "number" and "Email" in quotes as well. Unless this is his first time trying this and he's an idiot, his contact info won't be traced back to him. Be thankful he made the scam obvious and move on.

Use a real estate agent when looking for a rental house. They handle everything for you and the lessor pays them for you.

Sorry, in a hurry and just got the new galaxy S5... auto correct will take some getting used to.

I think you should pay him though.

Safe assumption. Some posters here are ridiculous about correcting grammar and pointing out typos. Hell, I'm an editor and still couldn't care less about tiny mistakes in message board posts.
