On hold pending payments

Hi I sold an item and had someone pay by PayPal. I had an email from PayPal saying the funds are on hold as the buyer had to deposit more money into my account. Is this a legitimate email?

Nope its a scam, they will send you another fake email saying buyer has done so (they won't have) and you have to refund using another payment option ie bitcoin / vouchers etc before getting your funds (you won't get them).
