Maybe a clever scam?

I sold some software to an ebay buyer back in July 2018, no problems with the transaction, sent off the software Via GSP to Europe, got paid just under £128 all ok.

15 Months later.....

From Paypal...   

An unauthorised account activity claim was recently filed against the
following transaction.
I was given 2 options to respond, either Find your proof of post, or refund... Then I Get an Email from the buyer Making a claim....
Please read....

Dear Mr. Shipton

 

Sorry for complicating your life.

You probably got request for a statement on the claim of the transaction at PayPal. This is not a claim for our earlier transaction.

I'm trying to solve stolen PayPal account of my wife's. And unfortunately, there is no other way than to log into another account (I had to use my account) and mark a specific transaction so that I can even start PayPal technical support.

 

I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Please report our transaction as correct transaction.

 

With regards

Next thing... Paypal refund him from My bank account..... 

So now I have to fight to get my money back.....
