Contacting skype via email regarding payment issue

Question

I would like someone to contact me via email regarding the following issue:
I received a notification my account with Skype has been canceled.  I surmise that for some reason or another Citibank has not been sending payment via electronic payment per my contract with SKYPE.
I have contacted Citibank just now via email, sending then the following message.
(please email me back with your contact phone numbers so I can resolve this unfortunate incident or issue which I have first heard about an hour ago via an email to me from SKYPE)
Received this from your accounting operations.
Something wrong here as the payments are suppose to be make automatically when they g3et near the ten dollar mark.
I have not been following payment as it has been done automatically-and this is the first notification.
How can this be?  This amount shown is very strange and very incredulous to be this high unless Citibank Guam Visa has been not paying the amounts when charged by SKYPE.
Obviously if this is true, for about the past five or so months by my estimate this has been happening.
What is perplexing is that the credit card is still good and ca not understand how it was’t paid.
Could you send me the past 2012 payments so I can see what has been going on?
I will send this on to Citibank as an inquiry.
Anyway, I do not want to cancel my SKYPE account.
Thank you.

Hi there     Alan Sokoloff,
Problem with your payment
Unfortunately, your payment failed, but don’t worry, we didn’t deduct   any money from your card.
Here are your order details:
Skype Name: alan.sokoloff4
  Total amount: $71.28
  Transaction date: Jan 28, 2013
  Order number: [removed for privacy]
  Order status: Refused
Why was my payment refused?
Reasons for your card payment failing can be:1. You entered the wrong   details. Make sure you have the correct details and try again. You didn't   have enough money on your card. Make sure you have enough money before you   try again. You might be using an anonymous proxy or proxy server to access   the internet, which we don't allow during the purchase process. Skype is   always doing its best to protect you from any kind of fraud. Sometimes this   can cause perfectly legitimate purchases to be refused.
What can I do?
We recommend using another card or one of our other payment methods   such as Skrill, one-off bank transfer or retail vouchers. View the different ways to pay for Skype products.

I have attempted numerous times to contact you.  I just get stuck in the endless and unhelpful loop.
I only do video chat.  I don't know why I am being charged ANYTHING, much less two payments a month of $2.99 and $3.01.  The account shows no subscription.  Why are you charging me??
I want a TELEPHONE NUMBER TO CALL!
if you are having problems in getting in touch with Skype through their usual webform, you can just try to send an email to [email protected]  Skype only offers email, and live chat for premium/selected users.
