If you haven't authorized this charge, open a dispute at:

Checked my PayPal account and this transaction doesn't appear anywhere! Presume it's a spoof email and reported it to PayPal, be aware!

Please note that I've added a 'space' between the '@ and outlook/skype' to prevent it being 'clickable'.

If it's a scam I should remove that link to Paypal's Dispute Centre, you never know where it will take you.

I reported it to Paypal who confirmed it was fraudulent. I've forwarded it to them and deleted the message.

I meant the link in your forum post. If the message above it is a scam it may take you to a bogus Paypal disputes page.

I think it was legit Dave, but I've removed it anyway

Oh, sorry I'm with you now - and thanks for removing it Fly
