Another Phishing scam to be aware of. It claims you sent a payment of 69.99 GBP to Skype (TopUp@******.com). If you are like most of us you’ll want to log in to your PayPal account to stop this transaction. Don’t do it. The problem is the link in this email is a fake PayPal site and if you login they’ve got your PayPal userid and password.
Email notifies the recipient that a Skype TopUp payment of 69.99 GBP has been made via his or her PayPal account.

If you’ve fallen pray to this, all you need to do is change your PayPal password. And check to make sure they haven’t sent any large sums of money to themselves or their cohorts. If they have, you can go to the Resolution Center to file a claim. This also brings to light the reason to not have a lot of money in the Bank Account tied to your PayPal account. If the money isn’t there they can’t grab it and if they use your Cedit Card that is tied to your PayPal account, you can easily do a charge back.
