Talking LOL at gumtree scammers

Some guy just tied contacting me about my phone that I am selling, reckons he is paying via paypal and I am to ship it to nigeria..then I get 2 emails from 'paypal' saying payment has been sent but wont be released until I put in tracking details and such.

Good god, do people actually fall for this rubbish?!
