I don't use Skype.  Can PayPal confirm this is a scam?

1. Do a search on this board and see the numerous threads on this subject.

2. Go to your paypal account and check your subscriptions and if there is not one for skype you are ok.

3. Send the email to spoof@paypal.com

Hi,

I received exactly the same email on Monday with exactly the same amount. I'm glad I found this thread as now know it is definately a scam.

Thankyou 🙂

I do not seem to have had a reply from PayPal regarding an email I received from Skype stating a payment for 3 months subscription to Skype. I do not use Skype so believe this email to be a bogus one. I receive similar emails from time to time with different cash amounts outstanding. Please could you look into this matter and reply by email. Also if you require the actual emails could you let me have your email address, thans Mr. V. N.Irani
