Is this a scam?

Customer Paypal'd me the money.  Less than an hour later says he "unintentionally pressed the purchase button."  Paypal held the transaction for 24 hours "to do a quick security check," then released the funds.  If I refund the guy's money, is there any way Paypal can come back later and say it was a mistake to release the funds and now I have to pay them back?  The transaction just seems a little fishy, since it takes more than accidentally pressing a buy button to complete a transaction; it feels like the old certified check scam, but I thought using Paypal eliminates that particular type of fraud.
