About the email on Certificate Form

[JohnnyGan]

I receive a email says that my PayPal account don't have a PayPal certificate form and it asks me to make a 500 American Dollar payment to an agent in Africa. Is it real? If PayPal needs a certificate form?

Also, it says if I am failed to abide this I will be arrested.

If the email is True?
