Employer asking me to give him my API username and password? Scam or legit?

I am working for an IM guy who is not local, he wants to link some of they payments from his site directly to my account by unsing my API (as I close most of the sales that pass through his site). He has requested that I give him my PayPal API so he can plug it into the site.

 

To keep it short, is there any harm that can come from giving him my API username and password?

Hi there Prodige39,

 

I don't think there would be any issues if you provided this person with your API username and password to assist them with receiving payments from his website.

 

Please let me know how it goes.

 

David.
