    Dear Friends,
    Kindly pay attention to this dangerous scam. See this email that I got today:

    I saw two things, that made me suspicious:
    1. Skrill addresses users by name and not by email;
    2. Why the "Click here" tab?

    I opened my account in skrill without any link. It was working perfectly without any restriction.
    Then I inspected the email. It was from [email protected] and not [email protected]

    Since, I have seen such fishing emails for long, I am aware of these tricks. If you click that "click here" tab, it will take you to a false skrill lookalike page and u will fill in your username and password, it will also ask you for security answer like your mothers maiden name and your date of birth etc. They will get all info of your account and then they will take away all your funds swiftly.

    So, whenever you get any of such email, do not follow any given link but open ur processor site normally and if there seems any trouble, contact them by either via phone or support email given.
