Joe Robin is back

I received the usual inquiry from "Joe Robin" on the QRP Classifieds. His initial inquiry said:

Hello
Am intersted in buying your (xxxxx) So i want you to explain the condition, and i will need the picture of it, also mail me your last price, and just to let you know that i will be paying with (Money Order) ok. I will be looking forward to hear from you. Thanks and have wonderful day.

I responded, to which he answered:

Thanks for the explanation, will need your address info so payment can be issued out and don't bother about the shipping my shipper will be coming for the pickup hope all is understood.

Below is the Adress Information:

ADDRESS INFORMATION:

First Name_
Last Name_
Address_
City_
State_
Zip_
Phone Number_
Country_

And his final response was:

Got your mail and thanks for the informaion. You will be revceiving
the payment soon and to inform you that it will be an over payment of
which the balance on it is meant for the shipping and insurance of the
unit down to my client's location, as soon as you receive it and it
has cleared your bank, you will wire the balance via western union to
the shipper. I will email you the the details for the shipper who will
be coming to pick it up. I hope all is well cleared and understood.
and also let other interested buyer to know that the unit has been
sold. I will await your response to confirm we have a deal.

So it sounds identical to previous scams.
