Here's confirmation of the fraud. The second email:

said amount which is ( $80) and the balance of ( $ 820 )is for the
shipment and some other goods which i have already paid for.I have
contacted a shipping company that will handle the shipment effectively
without any delay.
I will await your details and do get back to me as soon as possible
and i sure you every thing will work out fine.

Cool, the fish is hooked! Play a little more line out and get them to send a
bogus check.

As long as you receive payment and the check clears, what is the
problem?
The check never clears, but sometimes the balance is forwarded before the
buyer discovers this. It works often enough that people keep trying this
scam.

Well, if he's in Australia, it's a long way to come for
