Pending a payment

Hello everyone, I agreed with a client to send me a payment to my paypal account but later he sent me this email:

There's a problem in you getting your payment in your PayPal account due to Paypal limits and regulations we discovered that after the payment has already been made from the company's payment portal to your PayPal account.So the funds are in a Freezed state and can't reflect in your Payoneer account. We have to track and reverse this payment as soon as possible,or else you will lose your payment of $4,000 USD According to Paypal terms on reversal of funds an ACHrefund interchange fee of $100 which is equivalent should be cleared by the account holder in order for the reversal process to be completed because the payment is on a pending state in the receiver's account. Contact the project director for further assistance on how to clear the fee and retrieve the funds immediately. Once the funds have been retrieved successfully payment would be made to you via bank to bank transfer for easy transaction process. We are sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused.

 

Is this client crook or does my paypal account have a problem?
