Hello @Julesj1604,
Welcome! Thanks for joining the PayPal Community. In short, no, that's not something we would recommend. You should never send your password or security questions or one-time login codes to anyone. Here's also a great Help Center article on How to spot a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website.
Good luck on your future transactions!
