Scam the Scammer

My brother is looking at Champions League final tickets, he contacted someone on ebay as it said email for buy it now price. The item location was in Pontefract so my brother figured he could go and collect them.

This seller said he was using ebays trading assistant (although i had never heard of it, it does exist) and they have the tickets, so if my brother had send the money via western union, the tickets would be released and sent to him.

I have send the email supposedly from ebays trading assistant to spoof@ebay.co.uk and they said yes it was a fake.

Now i want to try and play the scammer at his own game, im sure some people on here must have an idea of how to play these people.

Any ideas?
