"He's scared of her"
"She's scaring him of"
Are these both sentences right to use?? Am I supposed to use "off" instead of "of" in the second one? or is my option allowed as well?

He's scared of her. ~ She scares him.
The usual preposition in the passive is "by", so you might expect this:
She scares him. ~ He is scared by her.
But in this
