Hi @Jneedshelp,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community Forum!
I'm sorry to hear that you're being put in a position to do something that sounds risky. I would never send a buyer or seller a screenshot of the inside of my account. There's no reason that they would need that information, and it could potentially divulge sensitive information that a fraudster would use to try to conduct fraud. I'm glad that your instinct is to doubt the legitimacy of the request. I would suggest that you consider avoiding any transaction with them if that is the request that was made.
Good luck and stay safe!
Olivia
