Someone wanted to send me money via paypal. I gave out my paypal email address and he later asked for paypal.me link. Told him paypal.me is not available yet in my country and he is now requesting share a screenshot of my paypal profile. Is he trying to hack my paypal?

I wouldn't give him anything else, all he needs is your email address.

Make sure you don't get any spoof, fake paypal emails sent using that email addy.
