Christopher - in the sender field, it says Skipe, and has links to Skipe.com in the message, and links to learn more about Skipe etc. There is also a paragraph saying that if you don't want to receive anymore emails from Skipe, to send a blank email to "this address" which is a link, which may or may not be dodgy, I just don't know. The bit that seemed odd to me, was that in the message was a woman's Skipe name, asking me to add her to my contacts if I join!

No one invites you to Skype via | e-mail; only in the Skype programme. If you want to get started, why not | sign up for the Skype English mailing list? To do so, send a message to | skypeenglish-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subscribe in the subject line. | When you receive the confirmation message, reply to it and send it.
