Selling Facebook Page?
17/F
I have a Facebook page with 566,716 likes and growing. I get messages asking me if I would be willing to sell my page and as a young adult (18 on Wednesday) struggling to get a little extra money, it seems like an easy way to make a little extra cash. I don't use the page at all.
This guy told me he would pay me $300 via Paypal. Is this illegal so sell your page? Is this a good deal? How would this work? Would he need my login info to use the page? Anything anyone has to say about this will be helpful, thank you!

Hello.
I would avoid this. It sounds far too scammy.
Even if it was realistic, it IS illegal. No question about it I'm afraid.
I may be selling my business, and I have a twitter account with 5000+ followers and I can't sell it!
But yes, If you don't believe me check out Facebooks legal terms, section 4, point 9:
"You will not transfer your account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission"
Hope I helped! :)

I would never sell anything that you created from the internet. Although this page may be massively and contain no real information people have ways of getting information.
I'm not really sure how scammers, hackers work but I wouldn't be one bit surprised at all if this was some stupid catch into trying to hack you never mind scam all your friends.
I would ignore the offer completely, There is an old saying "If it sounds too good be true, It is"
Seriously, The offer sounds catchy but what about all your fans? Are you really going to put them at risk as well?... Hell, It's better to be safe then sorry. If you don't use the account the smart thing to do would be to deactivate it all together but definitely do not "sell" your page to someone who is looking for nothing but information through the page, connection you were using and your fans.
Yes, You give your page away the hacker can look up the connection and were it was logged in from. NEVER fall for that stuff.
