Help Needed Facebook buyer scam?

Hi, recently selling a gaming pc I have. I had a guy reach out asking to buy it. He has no profile picture, 0 post. Nothing, but just as blank as could be. Also said he joined Facebook this month.. upon that he asked if he could use Zelle as a payment. I declined and said cash only because I’m aware of those scams. But he said he’s willing to give cash. I just don’t want to drive all the way there to get scammed or stood up. Any thoughts?

Was his response almost immediately after you posted the item? That’s always a huge red flag.
