Or you could counter his scam with another scam like this guy
This Malaysian Man Who's Selling His Mercedes Just Epically Trolled A Scammer - WORLD OF BUZZ
This really has been going on for a hell of a long time.
First clue is the buyer immediately accepting the price offered. No one ever does that!
Doesn't sound like a well thought through scam. Old furniture that you probably can't sell anyway...Original Post Deleted
But in some other news from Nigeria....
Me and the Mrs must be dumb. We've never bargained, partly because whatever we've wanted is usually fairly priced, else we'd not be wasting our time on it.
My usual thing is "Yes, I'm interested, yes I can pick up today or some to inspect today, yes your price is acceptable if I can inspect before I buy and you don't entertain any offers until I see this".
Gotten a fair bit of stuff off the classifieds - Gaming computer, soccer tickets in the last few weeks.
The only time we've lost out is when we agree to "But I'd like to keep this till the end of the month when we move... " then the clowns go in and sell it or give to their friends and ditch us, despite agreeing to their intial price.

This scam sounds to me like they had set up a fake paypal so when you create your new account you provide your credit card details which are then stolen and used.
