Kristjan got it right at the bottom of this thread. They send you official looking PayPal emails that seem to detail a pending deposit to your account and of course, they've over paid, so they need you to paypal back the overpayment amount as soon as possible even though if you check your paypal account oniine, you'll see there has been no deposit of any amount from that person...
Pretty lame scam if you ask me...
