The OP was not paying anyone with Zelle; the buyer was paying with Zelle.
I can think of several reasons why the son may not have access to the cash. I can also imagine being reluctant to give someone directions to my home without first seeing the money deposited into my account which couldn't happen with cash.
Zelle is safe when used correctly. This scam attempts to trick the target into being careless. I'm sure it works frequently.
