It's just another phishing scam, Gordon.
I hope you didn't click on any links in the email that would have taken you to a false Skype website, getting you to enter personal information.
It's no different from the Paypal, bank and credit card phishing scams.
For someone who receives such an email who actually does have an account, many are fooled into providing personal info when they 'log in' to a fake website, which the scammers then use, either to access the real accounts and/or steal the person's identity for other criminal uses.
