I got the "Skype needs your permission" message on my tool bar this a.m. & gave the permission for Skype to update. How do you know there is a scam? I'm assuming that since my notice was not in an e-mail it is not what you are referring to.

They're both in the same format, in plain text and invite you to click on a link to upgrade.
Do not click on these links.
These are apparently new as our very up-to-date virus and scam email systems didn't catch them.
