There is a *new* phishing method being employed on chat clients such as Skype. The cyber-criminals really, really, really want you to click on the links they send, so... 
They spam messages posing as young men and women who are "really just looking for new friends".
It is similar to a "make a new Buddy" request
This is just a 'sex' twist on the 'fear' social engineering ploy I warned you about here, Skype- "Windows Requires Immediate Attention!"
I am too tired of this game to backtrack this hyperlink, so I can't tell you if responding to this chat will try to install spyware on your machine, try to sell you a "rogue anti-malware program", or both..
I will simply say -- once again -- never click the link.
I got six of these this weekend.. Wow! I'm popular, all of a sudden.
