If it a genuine paypal email it will be addressed to you personally. The scam ones just say Dear Customer.

Skype is a popular VOIP program for making free telephone and video calls via your computer.

You did the right thing in deleting in, weecalf - I get phishing emails from PayPal too. I forward them to [email protected] then delete them.

They won't have your bank details - what they are looking for, if you had clicked on the link, would be for you to "verify your details" - that's when they get access to your account, and why you don't do that!
