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

Have received the scam email reference Skpe. I have received one today saying I have bought a camera from Amazon.  I now realise straight away that these are scams.  Just a quick look on my paypal history proves that this payment has not been taken.  Can't anything be done about these crooks.

I ALSO THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THESE SCAMS,CAN ANYONE GIVE AN ANSWER WHY THESE PEOPLE CANNOT BE BANNED FROM SENDING OUT SUCH MESSAGES...

It seems that this scam might be rearing it's ugly head again as I have received this email myself today.

I was worried about this as I received a similar email this morning. Glad I checked with the community as I did not reply and smelt a rat. I will just delete the message now. Thanks.
