Post by numi »

Hi All, this was the 2nd notification that i received. I have no idea and definitely hadnt subscribed to Skype. This has to be a scam. I wouldnt dare open the link at the bottom.
If any of u had received similar then check your paypal transactions via a new browser and if in order, ignore.

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

Hi Numi, hope you're well. There are huge numbers of these scams doing the rounds unfortunately. You can forward them to spoof@paypal.com or spoof@paypal.co.uk for them to investigate (hopefully).
