Good Luck!
There's really no question about it, this scam happens all the time, and the victim is always liable for every penny.

As for what to do, it doesn't really matter, as long as you don't send him the money. If you reply with hostility then he'll know you've figured it out, or maybe he'll think you've been playing him along, and he'll just go on to the next person. If you reply calmly and still say you know it's a scam it'll be the same result.
