My trap was that he was an IIS member for for 3 years already. Will consider to go to the police next week.
Here are more details about the scammer, just in case he tries again: - Email address: jizere8899@outlook.com
- Bank account name: Ian Mokoro

I did a quick check and AstronomyKiwi has posted once.
[SOLD] Qhy268c-ph, this was in 2021 and he asked if the seller would ship to NZ. He has been active on CloudyNights since 2018. He looks legit.
Was the bank account in NZ? Check the BSB number

Note also that the surname Mokoro is most likely to be from Kisii County in Kenya. So I think this is a stolen account and they chose an account that wasn't currently active, gained access, changed the contact details (email) and responded to your wanted ad.
The bank account likely belongs to a money mule. However, if you can convince their bank that this is a fraud they will close the account. I've successfully done this before.
The big question for me is: "How did they get access to the IIS account"?
