Account Hacked and paypal charged.

I recently tried to log in to my skype account, finding out that it got suspended a month ago after it got hacked, I just managed to get control back of  my account however for the short time the account had been hacked it is showing that a russian calling package was charged to my account via my paypal. however my paypal has no record of any charges from skype and also calls had been made from my skype account to landlines in Russia and all my emails from skype are now in Russian. I want to find out more details about these charges and what actually was accessed on my skype account and how they managed to log in. And also how to change the emails language back to english.
Cheers.

I think you may need to contact customer service regarding your concern.  However, I think they don't give refunds, or provide specific information in some cases.

  • Account hacked and Paypal account charged

    My account was hacked and charged. I changed my password but I still see new calls to India. Well done Microsoft!

    Same case here. Account hacked around End of April 2013.. and Calls made to India, Pakistan and Cyprus.
    Were you able to get credit back. Any help on how to restore the account?
    Skype's Customer Service sucks - It is pretty shamefull that a voice telephony company can not put its customer service on skype voice call... and instead using chat only function. 

  • Account hacked and charged

    My account was hacked and someone charged a subscription  for Ukraine calls.  This went through my PayPal.  I have notified paypal, cancelled my subscription of Skype Pro, and changed my password. This is the only place I can find to request a refund of this money.  Please advise how to proceed.  My low usage doesn't qualify me for chat.

    I think you can contact customer service for further clarifications and advice.  However, I'm not certain if they are offering refunds in cases of hacked accounts.

  • Account Hacked and Suspended and "Restricted"

    My account was hacked and someone charged several hundred dollars to my PayPal account.  Skype quickly remedied the fraudulent charges, and I have changed the passwords of both Skype and PayPal.  But now my account is "restricted" and I cannot add money to make calls.  Can someone help me to get the account unrestricted?  Thanks

    Hi, faizanbajwa, and welcome to the Community,
    Generally speaking, we do not have access to Skype acount records here in the Community; you must contact Skype Customer Service directly.  You may even need to set up a new account in order to recover your old account, if you cannot use your old account at this time.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where you will be presented with FAQ articles and other information, which may prove helpful, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.
    I would also recommend changing your e-mail account password as well as that of any saved payment method that you had on file.  If you employ a third-party payment processor such as PayPal or Moneybookers, change those account passwords as well as proactive measures.
    Further, run you preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware software using the most recent virus signature files to ensure your computer did not get infected.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Friends account hacked and sending links

    My friend Criken959 got his account hacked and is now sending links to me that might contain possible Trojan as so said on the forums if I can get an administrator to see this and help Criken959 me and My friend would both be very thankful

    It's a virus and most likely not a hacking issue. Very similar or identical to cases previously reported here. Please try the following procedures -

  • Account hacked and now I can't cancel subscription...

    Ok, I'm really pissed off right now, so I try to keep calm and not swear.. so here's what happened:
    - Last month I couldn't get into my account anymore with the same login details
    - after a lot of hassle, I was able to get back in, but was forced to log in with Microsoft account instead my original Skype account xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxx
    - I got an e-mail stating an invoice of 60 Euros for 800 mins to Ukraine(!). I don't know anyone there, no way I would want to call anyone there.
    - I assumed my account had been hacked so I changed all passwords, etc.
    - Now, 1 month later, my account is charged again. Turns out the hacker bought me a monthly subscription for 800 mins to Ukraine, jaaaay! 
    - I tried to cancel the subscription, but I get a "OOPS, something went wrong" message and it tells me to contact support with this ID : ID: REQUEST-6329897c/2014110912
    - I tried to just disconnect the Paypal payment to prevent any more charges, but then it states I should cancel the subscription first. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
    - So WHERE XXXXX  IS SKYPE SERVICE?!?! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxx there is NO way to actually send them an e-mail about it. 
    Just leave it up to the community right? 
    So basically I want two things: refunds for both transactions of 120 euro in total (somehow my account only shows the last one, probably, because I had to switch to a MS account login) and disconnection of the Paypal payment method, so this can never happen again.
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Warning! Skype account hacked and money stolen

    I feel it is important that Skype users be warned of their vulnerability to Internet theft and take the appropriate action.
    All persons with Skype pre-approved payment agreements through Paypal should seriously consider cancelling these agreements immediately. The urgency to take this action is for the following reasons:
    1. Paypal considers the theft of a Skype prepaid account as "not an instance of unauthorized account activity" and will not refund monies stolen under these circumstances.
    2. Skype has indicated that it is "not liable, and is unable to refund any money that has been lost because of this incident."
    After losing almost $100 in unauthorized Skype usage on June 30, 2011, I feel all Skype users should be notified of their vulnerability and be aware that neither Skype nor Paypal will refund money stolen from pre-approved agreements.

    This is crazy !!!
    Lose a login ..create another one and do all the weird dance to POST a reply. Man ..this is where skype starts to DIE ..
    Same story !!!
    Account password changed suddenly and ofcourse the EMAIL was changed as well.
    And IM aghast at seeing how many such accounts and for how long has these been going on and SKYPE does nothing.
    A simple solution is - when a user is changing EMAIL address, do it via the OLD address only. So if i created a login name ABC thru [email protected] (the first email id) - anytime the user wants to change it, treat it like the Password change TOKEN process. This way NO UNauthorized genius can LOCK some user out.
    Maybe some secret questions etc.? 
    other techniques.
    But how does
    - some steal passwords from ur systems?
    - or you wud say its random generators?
    - And credit card FREQUENCY usage? can users set something there? that I wud NOT change my Skype account for more 10$ everyday? or everyweek?
    And ..HOPE you guys are NOT storing credit card INFO in the system?
    and money wise - there shud be a way to STOP auto-recharge option?  Or stop from blowing over like above.

  • BTInternet account hacked and password changed

    Hi
    I have been receiving lots of spam emails from my own account recently and now it seems someone has changed my btinternet password.
    Any ideas on what I can do?
    I have contacted support via another email address.  Anything else I can do?

    If someone was able to hack into my email account and change my password, surely they would be able to change the security questions as well?
    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    Sorry to hear of the bother you are having.
    I have various shortcuts via a link below, options 3/3a, 24a/b and lots of others.
    A security answer is needed in order to alter the security settings (my link 24a), however most people probably chose their mother's maiden name, which with social networking sites (and indeed things like friendsreunited etc), it's not hard to get that. I recommend using something else - even if it is in response to that question.
    May I suggest you contact the moderators :-
    Moderation Team Email Address: please fill out the "contact us" below.
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
    hopefully they can get your account back up and running for you.
    You might like to see if you can remember giving any details away in response to a phish email, made sure that your OS is up to date as well as any security products. Also if you use the same information to login to various sites, it might be prudent to revisit them and alter the passwords, different ones. Alternatively use a different login for each site you have access to.

  • Email accounts hacked and now suspended

    My email address and my husbands email address have been, we believe, hacked and are now suspended. No amount of resetting attempts and waiting twelve hours has helped. We have tried the online support, which timed out and just didn't work when we were a mere 12 minutes away from talking to someone, my husband submitted an email query last week but we have had no response.
    EVERYTHING is linked to our email accounts, can anybody help me get them back??

    Try contacting this number 0800 111 4567. You may need your BT account number so have it handy. You will also need to access your computer. Explain to the operator that you believe your accounts have been hacked and the password and security questions have been changed. Obviously explain it is both accounts, I assume one is the master account and the other a sub account. They may help you with resetting it while you are on the phone or they may tell you that they have to send the new password out to the address on the account.
    If they do reset on the phone make sure you can access your email before they hang up other wise you will have to go through the procedure again.

  • Account hacked and credit card charged!!!

    I received today 3 emails from Skype. one about Skype Manager, one about Auto-Recharge and a last one about an order for 10 euro that has been made with my credit card. In my account info I fount a strange primary email address @ 163.com [hyperlink removed] and in skype manager setting there is an administrator with username [redacted to protect privacy] and me as a fellow member. The problem is that my credit card has already been charged with 10 euro but I cant see the transaction in my Purchase history page. I can see it only as last purchase of payment method but when I click on "Download this as printable invoice" the "Oops, something went wrong..." page appears. Please help!!

    Hi, Psideras, and welcome to the Community,
    First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this.  Thanks!
    If you have not already done so, change your Skype account and payment method account passwords immediately.  Report the fraudulent charges to your payment method issuer and to Skype Customer Service. 
    You will need to contact Skype Customer Service to sort this, and to assume control of your account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you must contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request. You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started!
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Account Hacked and In-App Purchases Charged

    I was charged for in-app purchases for an app I never downloaded.  The app is listed as a free app and therefore as best I can tell there is no course of action through Apple for getting the total ($43.56) refunded.  Anyone know of anything that can be done other than contacting the developer (Tap4Fun)?  I'm sure they will email me right back.

    Change your password.
    Contact iTunes Support, you can probably get a refund.
