HI

Just got a message from Skype, (ostensibly) saying they were charging my account $10 because my credit account was low. I've never seen this before and I never make any pay calls on Skype anyway.

I think I make a yearly payment that lets me call any phone in the US or Canada, but that's it.
I'm not worried about the ten bucks, but I don't want to interact with the message in any way.

Anyone else seen this?

Mike

Thanks, my research seems to show it is a scam as well. I'me just going to ignore it and then look at my Visa bill and see if I was actually charged. I'm pretty sure that I haven't been.

Anyway, I'm not going to click on any of the links.
