Don't give out your PayPal password. Also, you can set up a security key from the security tab in your profile. A security key will require a pin be sent to your phone every time you log into your account.

 

Here is a PayPal link with details on Security Keys.

I'm not aware of any way to block money requests.

 

You could contact PayPal and see if they can help.
