This type of TMI enquiry is quite common via AirBnB.
The younger demographic and emphasis on being a community seems to provoke many to tell a bit of a life story
I suppose it makes a nice change from "Hi, can you tell me your price and if you have availability".
Does this sound odd?
See the job, do the job!

Its the next email that will confirm scam or not and you can easily ignore the offer to send 250% of your rental
Though he did not offer the info in the initial inquiry, I once had an enquirer tell me that he was a retired member of the RCMP so could we give his group of 4 men a discount since our house would be very secure while he stayed there! Then he didn't end up booking because he didn't trust paying via bank transfer.
