Found a fake Skype website

I've found a fake Skype website and want to report to Skype team
This: [URL removed by Moderator]
Hopefully Skype team will do anything to the site.
Thanks.

Indeed it's a (IMHO very baldy executed) fake website which I've forwarded to our fraud team to deal with. Thanks a lot for flagging (bow)

Fake order website.

I was checking my orders. I used google and came upon this.
https://mercury.apple.com/WebObjects/ OrderStatus
I did not know how to check pre orders yet. So I logged in. It gave me a page telling me no orders have been made.
Thank you for shopping with Apple.
You are currently viewing orders placed with the Apple ID: xxxxxxxx
If you do not see the order you are looking for, please confirm the Apple ID above is the same Apple ID used to place the original order.
If you're not xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx @hotmail.com, Click Here.
This list displays orders you have made within the last six months. Click on the order number to view details about a particular order.

The first button brings you to the log in page again.
The second button brings you to the print support page of apple.
The third button brings you to the legit apple login site.
Thanks to this. I am changing my password. The verification is apple, but the page quality is horrible and why would you have to log in, then log in again after you already logged in?
It's fake for sure. But I don't know where to report it to apple.

Skype Website - Unable to add/see details of subsc...

This is an issue with the skype website.
I may be interested in the worldwite subscription but the website does not give me the possibility to check the details and/or purchase this subscription.
In detail:
1. I am selecting the "Discover Subscription" option to the left side of the screen:
2. I see the "Skype Unlimited World" banner that offers a free month (I don't really care for the free month - I just want to see pricing and service details).
3. I click the "Get your free month" button as there is nothing else to click.
4. In the next page I click again the "Get your free month" button as there is nothing else to click.
5. I get the following error and I can only restart the process which of course puts me in a loop.
"Oops - it looks like this trial has either expired or isn’t available for this Skype Name.
Please ensure you’ve signed in with the Skype Name the free trial was sent to."

Skype Website Won't Let Me Send Message To Custome...

I was charged way too early for an auto-renewal of a subscription, and to contact customer service about it, I went through the whole process several times on two different web browsers without luck, as the Skype website is having technical problems!
I was charged 8 days early in the billing cycle for my subscription, and need to get that adjusted, but if I can't contact customer service about it, then what am I supposed to do?
After going through several attempts to get to the page where I could write my message and give the info requested (multiple times being asked to sign in again only to have to start all over again), I hit send and I was taken to a page that says:
"Sorry, we’re having some problems at the moment. Please try again later. In the meantime, you can post to the Skype Community or read our FAQs."
No, I can't post to the forum about this, because it's a private issue!
Also, I want to know why Skype, especially since it's owned by Microsoft, isn't charging US customers from a US payment gateway instead of a European gateway? The way Skype has iit set up now, every time a US customer pays them, the customer's bank charges them a 3% International Transaction Fee, which shouldn't be happening.

Hello,
1. According to your account you were charged correctly. You have 2 Subscriptions. To which one are you referring?
Due to the time it can take for some transactions to be processed, we charge your bank or PayPal account three days in advance to ensure prompt delivery of your subscription. You don’t lose these three days: your subscription is still valid for the full period that you sign up for (one, three or 12 months).
Although the recurring payment is taken three days in advance to avoid possible delays, your subscription minutes are reset based on the initial purchase date and time.
Minutes are added to Plans at or about midnight UTC/GMT on the due date.
2. US banks have charged a Foreign Exchange Transaction Fee (FETF) for years on their credit (and debit) cards. Each bank has its own policy.
Some banks do not charge. Some banks charge 1%, 2% or 3%. They all vary. The details will be in your card agreement.
In recent times, banks have begun charging FETF for transactions in US dollars if the merchant of record is located outside the United States even though the transaction is in US Dollars.
Skype's billing and payment facilities are located in Luxembourg.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.

Always redirected to local Skype website of anothe...

Whenever I want to buy a new subscription, I was redirected to a local version of the Skype web site of my home country (which I registered my account with initially). The problem is that it ask me to pay using local bank accounts and doesn't have an option to use up my existing Skype credits. Since I'm now in the US, I don't have a way to pay through them and I also don't want to waste my Skype credits. Customer service responded that the only way to use Skype credits is to send SMS messages or to use them for Skype Wifi (both of which I don't need), and the only way not to be redirected for payment is to sign up for another account (which I want to avoid too because I have a long list of contacts..) I'm pasting my problem here in the hope that someone in the relevant department can see it and provide a way in the future to get around the issue (change account type, select which website to use for payment, etc.). Thanks!

The reason why you are being redirected to a Taiwanese Skype website is either the creation country of your account is in Taipei, Taiwan or you went to Taiwan and logged in using Taiwan’s IP address. Our partner in Taiwan is detecting your account’s IP address, which is why you have been redirected to our partner’s website.
PC Home is a Skype Partner selling Skype Credits and other Skype Products in Taiwan, to provide you with the best possible service, they handle all your payment and customer support in both English and Traditional Chinese. Hence we have migrated to ensure you get the best support.
To fix this issue for you, contact PC Home via their website, visit: http://skype.pchome.com.tw/cs.jsp or email them at [email protected] for the un-tagging of your account. To have it un-tagged, kindly provide them the following documents:
Copy of their telephone bill/statement showing their new address. Kindly remove any sensitive information before sending.
Proof of Identification with the address included.

Skype websites in Korea are 'kidnapped' by Daesung...

Dear Skype and Microsoft engineers,
I am a foreigner in Korea and I want to connect to the international Skype website.
When I go to skype.com in Korea, I get automagically redirected to daesung.com, which offers a very, VERY poor skype website. The options and service on this website is below any standard! The redirection prevents all my attempts to get to the international Skype website!
This is not only bad for foreigners in Korea, but for everybody who wants to connect to Skype in Korea.
Is there a way that Skype and/or Microsoft step up and stops this nonsense by daesung company?
Thank you!
R.

Skypes website SUCK

Iam sorry but its true, I been sitting here for 2 days now and I am about to explode.
I been using skype for a long time and now when I am gonna make the payment with a new credit card it says I have to many cards added already so I have to remove one if I wanna go on. ANY OTHER WEBSITE WOULD LINK TO THE PAGE WHERE YOU REMOVE THE CREDIT CARD FROM DIRECT, why do I need to look around the whole site like a jackass? especially when its nowhere to be found?
After probably an hour of looking through this horrible site and reading the support (which mostly of course does not link to the pages they talk about like ANY OTHER SITE IN THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD) I found a page, but with only 1 of my credit cards, so I removed it but when I try to add a new one its just the same **bleep**.
Sorry for the bad language but I am so fed up with this site. Please if Skype want my money, help me solve this, because best of all you of course dont have any customer support e-mail that I could send a mail to. At least not one that I easily could find.
Take this topic of frustration as valuble information on how to improve the site, I am a game developer and are working with complicated computer stuff EVERY SINGLE DAY, but I couldnt manage to use your site...thats bad!
So please help me, and improve this site becuase I cant be the first one going through this nonsense.

I too struggled with trying to make a change from paying monthly to yearly. More than 3 hours of messing around with this poorly developed website and still have not been able to make a payment to SKYPE. I guess Microsoft does not want my money. . . so I will find other ways to communicate with people. Seems like there are better services for free. I guess when revenue quits coming in, SKYPE will try to get me again as a customer.

"Bookmarks and history system will not be functional" with corrupt files found by Avast and websites loading slow ONLY in Firefox

Firefox is the only browser that lets me connect with my microphone. I need to use this feature for an online class. Earlier this evening, the message prompting me to allow or deny the class website permission to use the microphone stopped appearing, and without it the recording won't pick up any sound and I can't record anything.
I tried exiting and restarting Firefox. I had some extensions in use at the time, in particular Session Manager. The allow/deny message still wouldn't appear, so I restarted my computer.
Now when I open Firefox I see the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message. In addition, the browser loads websites extremely slowly; it takes several minutes to load each page or for me to be able to click on anything (the URL bar, the menus, etc) My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Chrome) are running normally and load websites at a normal speed. I tried downloading the latest version of Firefox but it didn't fix anything. I also tried restarting the computer again but that didn't help either.
I ran my Avast software system check and it turned up that the following files under "C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Irozixj7.default" are "corrupted and unreadable":
-cookies.sqlite-shm
-cookies.sqlite-wal
-localstore.rdf
-places.sqlite-shm
There was one more problem on the scan, but it probably isn't relevant: for the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{9A2C6FA7-E04E-4819-B86A-8363A9D1E42A}\mpengine.dll" it says "The system cannot find the path specified." When I attempted to follow the path indicated, one of the folders (I can't remember which) said something along the lines of "You can't access this folder, do you want to permanently allow access to this folder?" I said yes and was able to access the folder.
I have tried to add the Places Maintenance extension but the speed is too sluggish to download anything. Trying to access any of the menus results in the browser freezing for several minutes then unfreezing but with the menu still unopened. Therefore none of the solutions found here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a&as=aaq) seem to work.
My questions are as follows:
-Is it possible to figure out what caused the problem in the first place?
-Is there a way for me to fix it without losing my bookmarks and history?
-How can I avoid this happening again in the future?

First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder. To quickly access this folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Next, keep this folder open, exit Firefox, and try moving the "corrupted and unreadable" files to a different folder. With the exception of localstore.rdf, which stores window positions, toolbar customizations, and other nonessential data, the other files appear to be session-specific files that hopefully are not critical. If you restart Firefox, does it behave more normally?
If not, try creating a fresh Firefox profile. It will have the Flash plugin, which is the control sites usually use to connects your camera and/or microphone, and other plugins, but otherwise will be a new setup. This article has the steps for starting up in the Profile Manager: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
If sites work normally in the new profile, you can import your bookmarks from your old profile, as well as copying over other files that don't seem to be causing the problem. Some trial and error might be required to determine that. This article has some tips: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
If the new profile is no better, you can exit Firefox and use the Profile Manager to switch back to your original profile.
Any improvement?

I want a ''Page not found'' page on my website! :)

Hello there, ive got this website
http://www.orlandosalsa.co.uk
1) And everytime i browse ''http://www.orlandosalsa.co.uk/images'' i get this: (i know this is supposed to happen but i dont want it to)
So I would like somehow to hide this folder from public...
2) And everytime i type something that isn't in the server i get this:
But.... I would like that when i type a wrong URL like the image above, I could get something like a ''Less ugly personalized Page Not Found page'',
Also I wonder if there is a way to, instead of getting that ''404 error'', could it simply take me back to ''http://www.orlandosalsa.co.uk/'' page automatically?

1. Based on your screenshot it appears you are using Windows, so you will need to open up a simple text editor and save a file with the name ".htaccess". It begins with a "." and has nothing at the end. When you upload it to your site in FTP you will need to enable the viewing of hidden files in your FTP client because files that begin with a "." are hidden on Unix systems. Then follow the instructions on the following page about how to edit htaccess files. There is a lot you can do with them.
http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess11.shtml
2. Again furthering on the htaccess, one other thing they can do is define error pages:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess2.shtml
So hopefully that should help. If you have any questions setting this up feel free to post back.

I can't be found in the Skype Directory

Why am I not in the skype directory? No one is able to find me using my skype name, real name or email address......

Just to confirm if one of your friends can search your Skype Name/ Skype ID on Skype Directory?
Note: You won't be able to search your own Skype Name/ Skype ID on Skype Directory.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...

My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou

Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:
*https://mail.live.com
*https://login.live.com
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

What is it with the Skype website anyway?

I have tried from several computers to buy a $2.99/mo Canada/US unlimited Subscription. When I click the Buy button the Internet Explorer logo on the tab just spins and spins forever.
I do not have popups blocked. I have also tried it using several Skype accounts.

slow. I tried the other one, but I didn't touch that setting anymore, after seeing vcore at 2.0V while the board was on ultra turbo. That reading was from core center, so who the heck knows if it is valid.
