I design/ draw and have an Instagram - someone contacted me in my DM and asked to buy artwork but that he couldn’t pay on Etsy as his account has restrictions. He asked if he could pay by PayPal - I sent him my email address and then he said to pay me I needed to give him a code and sent me a photo of his screen that looked like PayPal would it said ‘we sent a verification code to the recipients mobile to verify the authenticity of the payment’ I’ve never known of anything like this before to get a payment - and then he blocked me an hour later after I didn’t get the text with the code 😂 I just didn’t know if I need to report him to Instagram too - was he trying to hack into my account? Or is this a genuine thing ?
