Skype | Please Update Your Billing Information

Here's a target that I've never seen before - Skype. It's a plain text email and the displayed URL looks realistic enough, but the actual target URL is http://secure.skype.com.j71501.cn/member/Login/. This is a URL that doesn't appear in any search results yet, as it appears to have been registered in Hong Kong yesterday.

Looking in Google it's not the first time Skype have been victims of these attempts, but I'm having problems finding where to report it, so trying just security@skype.com.

Here's the email content:

Dear Skype Customer!

In order to update your billing information, please sign in
to your Skype account at https://secure.skype.com/store/member/login.html?message=login_required,
and update your billing information.

Thank you for choosing Skype.

Sincerely,

The Skype Team.
