SKPE Please Red
Here is another personal experience caution confirmed by the Skype people.
[3:53:28 PM] xxx (SKYPE): [12:53:51 PM] Patsy j Payne: Sorry to pester u, but I think we have a new skype virus. I got a phone call from "System Update..." I went back to get the exact name and it is gone. They call u and tell u u have a virus and to go to this website to clean. Didn't catch the website. Caught me offguard
>>> a Skype call you mean?
[3:53:34 PM] xxx (SKYPE): oh ok
[3:53:42 PM] xxx (SKYPE): wow that IS agressive!
[3:53:50 PM] Patsy j Payne: Should I pass alert to my skype friends
[3:54:06 PM] Patsy j Payne: It would catch people threatening virus
[3:54:53 PM] xxx (SKYPE): yes pass the word... and if you want send them to my blog posts to learn to avoid Skype phishing take over hackings.
[3:55:08 PM] xxx(SKYPE): Il get my links
[3:55:23 PM] Patsy j Payne: Thank u, that would add credibility to my cautions
[3:55:42 PM] Patsy j Payne: I write one article and repost all over

[3:58:43 PM] Patsy j Payne: AWESOME, thank u so much
[3:59:02 PM | Edited 3:59:14 PM] xxx (SKYPE): yours sounds like the last one but they called your Skype too! Very agressive!
NOW, I am not sure I wasn't injured from this phone call. I found three nasty trojans later in the day. Now sure if the situations are related...just be careful.
