I recently got a similar one, supposedly from PayPal, saying I had authorised a three month subscription payment to Skype and that if this was incorrect to click on a link to get a full refund.
I contacted PayPal who told me it was a phishing scam and if I had clicked on the link it would have asked me to log in to the PayPal link they supplied, that's the catch they then have access to your account, needless to say I didn't click the link.
The original mail to all intents and purposes looked absolutely genuine but as I knew that I hadn't made any subscriptions and having been warned a few days before I received that mail I may well have been fooled.

I get them all the time claiming to be from; HMRC, TNT, various banks, Ebay etc. I used to forward them to the fraud depts of these companies, but it seems a waste of time. It doesn't seem that any organisation, bubblement dept or any other agency is interested is stopping these thieves from ripping of the unsuspecting.
