Trying to sell stuff around the house. However, there are interested people that ask for our cell phone numbers. Is this someone trying to scam us?

Hi @canselmi,

 

Welcome to PayPal's Community Forum! I can certainly understand your concern. Customers can send you payments using the email address or phone number associated with your account, but in some cases, they may just want a way to get in contact with you if something goes wrong with the sale. With that being said, we do provide education on our website for common scams to look out for.

What are common scams and how do I spot them?
