Weird questions here, there's this dude on Instagram that wanted some feet pics in exchange for 1000$. I sent him one thinking he would respond and now he says he'll pay me. I'm obviously 99% sure this is some sort of scam. But this 1% percent chance of having 1000$ is juicy haha. The question is how unsafe it is to give someone you paypal email/phone number? Thank you very much

As long as you are not giving them your password or any code paypal sends you to verify a payment then you are fine.
The whole point of paypal is folks send funds to your paypal email address or phone number.
However be very careful this doesn't descend into a scam if he asks you to do more things.
