Transaction fee issues

Hi, I have someone trying to send me money from overseas. He sent a screenshot showing his payment is pending but says I need to pay transaction fee for it to go through. I however have received no indication of a pending payment on my PayPal, anywhere. Wondering if anyone could help or knows what the issue might be?

The issue is its a well known SCAM and you receive fake paypal emails or messages telling you to pay a fee to receive or upgrade a payment or account or any other reason they can think of, they normally tell you the fee has to be paid via another payment method as they do not have paypal accounts as they are just scams.
