Paypal Skype Scam emails.

Today i recieved an email from paypal which stated that i had a bill of £18 to pay to skype, funny thing is this ATSer has no skype! and the email is addressed to "the paypal user" there is a link in the email that says "click here to cancel the payment" well after a quick check of my paypal account and a quick look on the paypal forum it is clear that this is a scam! just delete it.

here is a link to the forum Paypal Forum

Yeah! This has been going on for Years. Not just for Skype, for other companies too through Paypal.

Never click on any link, if you're a bit sceptical about the email then simply forward it to [email protected]

without amending the subject and without writing anything in the body of the email.

They then get back to you to let you know it's a spoof.
