It's bad trap. Don't play it.
After Nxd4 instead of taking "free" pawn white's position is quite better.

This past Sunday I showed my 2 chess students Gary Khan and his son Chris Khan
the Blackburne Shilling Gambit trap. When I started to play in chess tournaments I used to study traps and books on tactics such as 1001 Checkmates and 1001 Combinations. Later on I studied middlegame books such as Pawn Structure Chess by Andrew Soltis, and Aron Nimzovich’s book called My System and the 2 Euwe Middlegame Books. And I played all the standard chess openings such as the Stonewall Attack, Evans Gambit, Max Lange Attack, Ruy Lopez, Marshall Gambit of the Ruy Lopez, the Caro Kann Defense, Sicilian Dragon , French Defense, Two Nights Defense and etc. I had a solid background in chess before embarking on unorthodox chess openings. For players just
starting out they need to begin with standard chess openings first to get a solid foundation in chess.
Blackburne Shilling Gambit Trap
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 (the start of the trap, White sees the free e pawn and also the Nxf7 move which could pick off the Black R at h8). 3.Nxe5 Qg5 4.Nxf7 Qxg2 (White now has to play 5.Rf1 because that R is hangs) 5...Qxe4+
(White cannot play 6.Qe2 because the Q drops after 6...NxQ) 6.Be2 Nf3+ mate. (The correct move against this trap is 4.Nxd4, It is better not to go into the trap. Also if White plays 4.Bxf7+ Black plays 4...Ke7)
This trap can also be played from the White stide of the board. Recently on chess.com I saw a reversed form of this trap with the following moves:
Reversed Blackburne Shilleng Gambit Trap
1.a3 (this wastes a move and it is like playing Black from the White side) 1...e5 2.e4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Bc5 4.Nd5 (the start of the trap) Nxe4 5.Qg4 Nxf2 6.Qxg7 Rf8 7.Qe5+ Be7 8.Nf6+ mate. (Again the best move was 4...Nxd5) Also an Inverse version of this trap can be played from the White side:
Inverse Blackburne Shilling Gambit Trap
1.e3 e5 2.e4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Bc5 4.Nd5 Nxe4 5.Qg4 Nxf2
6.Qxg7 Rf8 7.Qe5+ Be7 8.Nf6+ and mate.
