Ok so how should I have some fun with these scammy dudes?

Selling a guitar on Gumtree, (Aus Craigslist).
Go through the motions with this lady and she agrees to buy and then I get this email.

"Hello,

i will be going for the payment now so kindly let me know if you have receive the payment confirmation and so that i will contact the pick-agent as soon as possible to inform them about the pick-up. We advise you to kindly please withdraw the item from the ad...

Cheers"

And I'm like cool whatever.

But then I get THIS one

"I have just completed the payment and i expected paypal to have notified you to this effect. check your mail folders (inbox) i sent $1,150 in all. i added $600 but $500 will be sent to my pickup agent headquarters in UK through western union at post office, the extra $100 is to cover the western union fee and paypal charges. PayPal will not release the fund until you email them the western union details for verification,and also to enable my pick up agent to come for pick up and inspection.
Here is the agent's details where the money will be sent.

Wayne Roland
31 Theobalds Rd,
Bloomsbury,
London,
WC1X 8SP
United Kingdom

please get the necessary details sent to PayPal (Money Transfer Control Number) MTCN and senders name and address used to send the $500 so that they can release the whole fund into your account.Please get back to me once done.

Cheers"

Thoughts?

It seems like a Nigerian scam, you see that a lot nowadays, also here in the Netherlands on ebay-a-like sites..
