What did you make today?

Today I nearly made a very silly mistake.
I got a PayPal receipt for three month's worth of online number rental from Skype.
My mouth dropped open - WTF?!
I was a second away from clicking the Dispute link handily included in the email when my brain kicked in.
Hang on...

Sure enough, went to the official PayPal site and no such payment has been issued.
I knew there wouldn't be, but I did have to check.

I'd never fall for a bank scam because I do not have online banking and my bank does not have my email address. But the sneaky buggers nearly had me today - sheer paranoia because I know I'm already slightly overdrawn.
