You are right Scam,  My hubby got a message on Gumtree  for his ute offered more money than what he was asking.

He stated he was from Tas but overseas on secret mission lol, but the same deal asking for Paypal info.

Don't respond to him if they did pay a stolen credit card and you loose or once you send him your email address  you will receive a scam Paypal emaill  they then hope you will then click on the link to sign into your Paypal account.

Hope all that makes sense, somebody will come along who can explain it better that me. 🙂
