possible hoax

Hi, a person wants to send me money- I barely know the person.

He says he is using IG promo code, therefore I received a text from facebook with a link, I should copy to him and send it back, so that the money wont be refunded. Feels like the link couldd ie to capture my account or somehting instead for sending money. Any ideas? I don't feel safe opening or sending links.

Don't do it, he is trying to hack your paypal account.
