I know of people that have tried that but it really isn't worth it. The scam works by the money looking like its been credited to your account, so you send the guy your gear, but then when you try to get the cash the bank tells you there has been some sort of error and you can't get the money. Best to ignore.
Look at this site if you want a bit of fun about scamming the scammers!
