They didn't have my name or address in the email.
There was a link to a "dispute centre" at the bottom-
PayPal don't send links in their emails.
I have reported it and deleted it. I did not click on that link.
Please be vigilant everyone, do not fall for such scams, never ever click on links and only sign in directly on the main website

There are charges for Skype in certain situations (but I think oner would be aware if they had started a contract with Skype).
