Just woke up to this & it's very well done. Between being mostly asleep, having no coffee yet & the EM being lodged between 4 real PP/Ebay emails, I thought it was real. It's a receipt for your payment to Skype! in British Pounds (sorry don't know how to do the symbol) for 62.69, with a hyperlink to click if you didn't authorize the payment.
Luckily, even with no-coffee brain, I immediately checked my acct by logging in & there was no transaction. Then a quick internet search shows that this is totally a spoof/phishing scam. Then a closer look shows that my name is not at the top of the email & the sender is a Hotmail addy. Nevertheless, if you're half awake, the email looks real, so just wanted to warn.
Apparently it's been around for awhile, as some of the references to the email are from 2011.
