Default Skype Paypal Scam

Hi everyone

I received an Email yesterday supposedly from Paypal regarding a payment for a 3 months subscription to Skype. (I have never even used Skype).

The email states that if you have not authorized this payment then please click on "cancel payment" button. This is obviously so they can get your Paypal details. I just deleted the message straight away without clicking anything as i knew straight away it was a scam.

I also checked my Paypal almost straight away & as i thought, nothing there.

Has anyone else had this email or something similar?

Yes. Phishing is very simple to do and you end up with around 60 victims out of 400 bait.

Very risky practise with some jail time if done though.

be very careful when it comes to PP and skype.

Remember linkage can occure without realizing if using both.
