I just got the same email, on a Paypal account that has been closed for almost 2 years. Skadden Debt Collection emails, regarding Paypal Bill Me Later issues, are a SCAM.
I got that email today and I dont have a paypal account at the address they claim.
Yeah, I got the same. Being a naive and infrequent PayPal user, I did wonder if I'd managed to get myself into something. Good to read that others have identified this as a scam.
I trust that the zip file they've attached contains nothing pleasant either!
I got the same email, and I've never had a paypal account!!
Got the same email today, on an old paypal account. Such poor English (thankfully).
Great site many thanks.
Thank you so much for posting this. The email had me worried at first. didnt open attachment, thought i would google it first!
Consider the fact that PayPal actually pays the seller in full at the time of purchase, then they collect from you through their service; it would be PayPal contacting you, not "Skadden".
