So now i know it'a scam, but before i did, i send her my paypal.me account and she wanted to talk on whats app so i went there.. so she know my number... can she do anything with my paypal? Hack it or push me into dept? (I don't bought a gift card and i don't wanna)

If you're concerned, close your PayPal account and open a new one with new email address, create different paypal.me link, change phone number, etc:
Close account checklist:
- Resolve any open disputes or account limitations.
- Zero out the balance.
- Cancel any active automatic payments.
- Remove financial info (bank accounts, cards).
- Go to Settings (cog icon).
- Click Close Account under Account Options section.
- Business accounts: Click Close Account across from Account Type.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
