	just in case it catches you unaware. I hadn't come across this one but apparently been around for a while. D and I share the paypal account so I am used to seeing purchases he's made come through to my email...but this one looked 'odd' and when I saw it was to do with Skype I checked with him...also it was flagged by Gmail with a warning not to click on links. from the Paypal forum...and many the same ".... I have also just received an email for a SKYPE payment which i new nothing about. When i clicked on the link to get a refund(my first reaction) it opened a page requesting my personal financial details which i declined. This is a scam to get your details do not complete the form!. The email is a poor substitute for the paypal ones, just go to your PayPal account and you will see no reference to this payment. Hope this helps someone not to get scammed. "
