The payment you received is part of a scam. If you ever receive any e-mail from PP stating you received money, always log into PP to make sure the e-mail is legit. All money transfer will show up in PayPal by the time you have received that e-mail messages.
Good job not falling for it! 😉
P.S.
Tell the scammers you have have reported their attempts to Interpol. This should cease all future correspondence.

Yes, ignore him/her. Anytime western union and PayPal are in the same paragraph you should always consider it a scam.
Take Care
