Default I Hate Scams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Im selling some items on kijiji (I dont know if anyone has heard of it, it might only be canadian but its like ebay) and Im selling a Wii system package for $280 and I got this email today and this is what it read:

Ok well I was going to copy and paste but I deleted it,
But anyways it said somthing like this:
Im in edmonton and Im looking to get this system for my sons birthday, and he went on a trip to africa with his uncle for some work and I willing to give you $500 for everything and Ill pay for shipping, all you need is a pay-pal account and ill transfer the money and you can send me the system, and if you dont have a pay-pal account its easy to sign up, Im looking forward to hearing from you.

Like do you think Im that stupid to honestly believe that your going to give me $220 more than what Im asking. So I sent an email back and Im just waiting for his reply.

Has anyone else ever had any encounters like this ???
