Yup, it's a SCAM.
And the scam is, you contact them at the phone number or email addy, they get your phone number or email addy so they can then send a fake email that looks like it comes from PayPal. Telling you that you have a payment waiting but you must send the item first, supply the tracking number, and then the payment will be released.
But.
The email is not from PayPal.
The payment doesn't exist.
The scammer hopes you will not check your actual PayPal account to see that it is all faked.
PS: no, you don't have to reject the offer. You can just let it time out. The item will still be available for anyone else to offer or buy it outright. However, it would be a good idea to decline. Don't communicate any further with this scammer. Ignore anything further from them if they pursue (unlikely, because this is likely just one of many, many offers they have sent out with that form letter request).
And add that ID to your Blocked Bidder List, just in case. That will prevent any further offers or bids or Buy It Nows from that ID.
