Well ask him for a UK crime number (ignore the foreign one as that could be part of the scam), what station and officer and get in touch with the police - not some bogus lawyer, test his mettle... You should be covered by PayPal anyhoo unless he asked for paying as a gift. Otherwise ignore them - as I suspect they work as a pair, if it's a case of stolen property, which I doubt, the police will contact you in due course, I smell bullshit...
I might just sit tight. If the police come knocking and it is indeed a stolen frame then fair enough. It goes back to its rightful owner and hopefully I'll get my cash back through Paypal.
