If you see this or anything like it, don't buy it. It's a total hoax:
"SKYPE NEWS <<< Hi, this is a message from the creator of Skype and tell you a little about what will happen to Skype on 15 March. Please do not send it back to the person you received it from. Dear members of Skype, Skype will be closed on 15 March, because it gets very crowded. There were many users complain that Skype will be very slow. Records show that there are a lot of active Skype users, as well as many new members. We will send this message around to see if members are active or not. If you are active please send to 15 other users using Copy + Paste to show that they are still active. * Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks will be deleted without hesitation to make more space. Send this message to all your friends, to show that they are still active and not deleted. The founder of Skype .. Be sure to send it today-Marcus Abildtrup
(PS: i heard it was real but i really dont know, cept i got about 4 of them already...the founder should have a system for this shit anyway, and if he can see this i'm just saying...its not gettin to EVERYONE like this)"
How do I know it's a hoax? There have been others like the Facebook hoax and it uses some of the same words this one does. First of all, why would popular sofware like Skype close down due to "being overcrowded"? Second, look at this part of the message: " If you are active please send to 15 other users using Copy + Paste to show that they are still active. * Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks will be deleted without hesitation to make more space. Send this message to all your friends, to show that they are still active and not deleted." Dead giveaway. This is the part that gets people duped. They go "oh no, I'd better post this or I'll get deleted". Nothing will happen to your account if you don't. So don't freak out and just laugh it off as a hoax or leg pull.
