I almost fell for a similar thing with a guy wanting me to ship a car to the UK. He claimed to have transferred the "funds" to my paypal, then sent me an e-mail saying his "shipping agent" wants $400 VIA WESTERN UNION before paypal would release my money to my account. I then recieved an e-mail from "paypal services" (fake) stating the funds were in my account but there was a hold until I sent the $400 for shipping. There was no money in my account, nor was any transaction pending! He was just trying to jack $400 dollars. I googled all info he sent me and I found a bunch of other people that had been scammed by the same people and they had gotten the exact type of emails as I had. I am now recieving e-mails from the "paypal services" claiming I am being turned into the FBI if I don't send the $400 within 24 hours. Trying to scare me I suppose.
