Scam Email regarding payment to Skype Inc

[Pam06]

Paypal users please beware of a scam Email regarding payments to Skype Inc.  I have just received an Email supposedly from Paypal regarding payment for 3 months subscriptin to Skype Inc.  The Email states that if you have not authorised this payment then please click on "cancel payment" button.

Please ignore this Email as I do not believe this is from Paypal as it does not state my name, ebay membership or Email address as the recipient - it simply welcomes the Paypal Client.

Also when I clicked on cancel payment it redirected me to another site which I immediately closed without entering any personal details.

Thanks Pam

I got one of these emails too. Nearly caught me out too as i have MS & my memory isnt good. Went into my paypal account to report it but when i needed the transaction number & there wasn't one & neither was my name etc on the email i then realised it was a scam email...easy to get caught out though.

I too am disabled. I keep a list of places where I have ordered things and the payment info. I download it from paypal everyday.

I have also received this email this morning from a random address and like everyone else it has nothing to do with me.

Is there a way it can be reported to PayPal?

I rang Paypal and they asked me to forward the email to spoof@paypal.com then delete the email
