be very surprised if it is kosher

[bobwill]

Have you checked if any money has gone out of you paypal account if it has change password quick

[lagerland]

Skype is free you have to buy credit only if you want to phone landlines...................

It would have been a link to a fake Paypal login page, its been taken down now, but I hope you didnt login to Paypal via that link when it was up, if you did you're gonna wanna change your password very quick...

[jordigirl]

have checked, no monies have been paid out

aint even used skype

[nibblitz]

But did you originally login into paypal after clicking that link? Or did you go to paypal via a different route...

[jordigirl]

i logged into paypal via another page - never clicked the link
i thought it seemed a bit dodgey

thanks

i think the fact that you do not use skype may answer your question

[GastonJ]

This link address should be a clue

_https://www.paypal.co.uk/helpcenter/open_dispute and get a full refund.

which when you hover over it is

so a phishing attempt and not having a skype account anyway. Go slap yourself jordi

[ITS A SCAM !]

I had the very same email a few months ago, I was a bit concerned as I had just been playing about with Skype. I logged into my Paypal account the usual way and noticed that no cash had been taken, so I assumed it was a fake.
