Reporting on Malicious 419 scammers

Question

Hi Skype,
Firstly let me say I'm seriously dissapointed in your support services. I used to be able to just email a problem and someone would get back to me very promtly. Now, for whatever reason one has to jump through hoops to find an actual person. With nothing in your forums, I took to sending you a private facebook message which has not been responded to for over a week, in addition the form I found to email you directly keeps breaking. That's seriously lacking guys.
Anyway... below is the security concern. You really should have systems in place to report this kind of thing. I would have expected so much more from you... especially since I have been a paying customer for many years. 
All I ask is please get back to me with assurance you are going to block this profile.

Hi Skype.
Where can I report a fake skype account that is used for malicious /phishing purposes? I can't find anything on your website.

Thanks for replying. I didn't realize it was so bad as this is my first one.  I'm fully aware of 419 scams, but I do use for Skype for work purposes and am sometimes contacted by strangers so unfortunately I do need to initially engage a little. 
I have checked again and I don't see any place within the skype app to report a user. I can block them, but not report them.
I still feel that skype should at a minimum do these 2 things:
1) List and warn users of 419 scams under the security FAQ/Support areas. (Not just phishing) 
2) Allow an online area, or within the app to report users so MS/Skype can disable the account permanately.
