Someone on reddit said they would send me $120 through Payid so I gave him my details and I’m now really anxious I’m going to get scammed
He said he would help because I was saying about how I really need a job and stuff

What were they going to do with the payID? Was it your phone number they wanted @ArraDreaming ?
Do you know whether it was a scam for real?

I'm not sure how getting someone's phone number will be helpful @ArraDreaming . Then again, I'm not sure someone would just hand over money to a stranger?
It all sounds weird. Just look out for changes in bank statements etc even if it's a 1cent deduction from something strange.

Hey @ArraDreaming It does sound pretty dodgy but there are also some good people out there that do want to help. Life these days makes it so difficult for those people to shine through though as there are so manner scammers - just having your phone number should not be an issue but as @tyme has said - keep an eye on your bank account and report even the smallest of differences.
@tyme I know for a fact you are one of those good people - providing someone with a home and security 🌞
