Why does a person want to pay me $500 weekly just to advertise apartments for him... ?

I'm from UK and he is from US. I was applying for local London Office work on Facebook and he explained that he is based in the US and wants me to use my Facebook profile to pull customers through advertising apartments and flats. I have posted just one so far, but I didn't know how to change the currency on the header information of the ad and I couldn't leave it blank so I just converted it from USD to GBP. But it says the USD price in the description section only. 

Update:

He explained that he is a Realtor/Estate Agent.

    It's a scam. Any time someone offers you a lot of money to do very little work it's either a scam or illegal.

    A professional realtor / agent / broker does not need to "use" other people's Facebook page or profile for anything.  If they have apartments or flats to rent, they can easily do it on their own page.  Remove the listing and block him.  It's a scam.

    It is a scam.

    You would be posting listings for flats/houses are fake.

    When the scam unravels, the police only have one person to visit:  YOU!
