Getting contacts in my Skype account that I didn't...

I use the Skype app on my Windows 8 Laptop. For the past 2 months, random contacts have been appearing in my Skype contact list. I never added these contacts nor did I received a request to be added. These contacts were just added without my consent or knowledge. Ironically, the contacts are of old classmates of mine. But still, I am not sure why random contacts are being added. My Skype account is only linked to my Microsoft account. Years ago, it was linked to my Facebook account but I delink it and deleted my Facebook account years ago.
So far 3 contacts have been added. And I manually had to delete all 3. Since I opened Skype several years ago, I have changed my email recently. The new email that is linked to my Skype account is a new account and I removed the old email account that I opened Skype with. And no one has the new email so it is not possible that they are searching for me with my old or new email.

    how to get Contacts from my google account?

    If you mean you want to get them in iCloud, export the contacts from Google as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en), then import this to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

  • A Skype account that I did NOT sign up for and can...

    I received an email from [email protected] about a Skype account that had been created under said email address. I have a Skype account that I've had for a year under my primary email, and I never made a second account. Moreover, when I provide the email to obtain the password, I receive the email and the temporary password token, but both the automatic link and the code to manually enter bring up a message saying that the code is "not valid."
    How can I access/delete this account that exists under an email address of mine that I did not create?

    report that account to [email protected], and request to unlink your email from that unauthorized account.

  • Delete skype accounts that are no longer in use.

    Hi
    We use skype at our company for communicating with clients. Over the years some of our employees have left but their skype accounts are still searchable. We have had cases where customers are not aware that the employee has left and leave messages on their skype accounts which never get answered. I would like to know how to delete/remove these accounts from the directory so they are no longer searchable.
    I have tried the link on the support page but it gives me an error saying that the chat is not available and the only other option is to post here in the forums.
    Please help, I have been trying for a month now to get rid of these old accounts.

    Hi, ReneEIT, and welcome to the Community,
    Thank you for reporting you have experienced problems reaching Skype Customer Service; Skype is aware of these problems.  I have flagged your report for review by those to whom I report.
    You are correct; you will need to contact Skype Customer Service in order to remove/disable these old accounts.  You did not mention if you use a Skype Manager configuration; if you do, here is a link to the instruction on how to disable un-used accounts:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA559/how-do-i-remove-members-from-my-skype-manager?
    The next time you try to reach Skype Customer Service, try using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented even if they don't exactly match what you need to do.  Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Who do I talk to about getting the credit on my account that was promised to me 3 months ago?

    Back in April my husband and I traded in our old iPhones for a "free" 5c upgrade through Verizon's loyalty program.  We then signed up for a home phone, and basically after all the changes were made we were told our monthly bill would be $140/month.  Our next month's bill then ended up being over $300!  It turns out the monthly charges were entered incorrectly by the sales representative helping us and we were charged about $80 extra.  So I went in to the store to talk to someone in person about the mistake, and he changed the subsequent bills to correctly list the charges.  He told me that $80 would be credited to our account but if not the next month, it would reflect on the following month.  I'm still waiting for the $80 credit to reflect on our account!  (although technically the new rep assisting me did not offer to reverse the long distance fees that we were overcharged because of this mess up, but at that time I just wanted to get the heck out of there).
    Anyway, before I start on another wild goose chase of phone calls and/or Verizon store visits, what is the best way to go about contacting them to try to get this credit to my account??  I shouldn't have to wait any longer for the $80 credit to reflect on my account.
    Thanks to anyone who can provide some guidance!

    This way file a complaint and Verizon will contact you.
    If they say it has been credited get their real name and a confirmation number for the transaction.
    Good Luck

    Hi,
    How do I transfer all contacts I have in one skype account to another skype account?

    You can use the Send contacts option.

  • How to get rid of the "Guest" account that 10.7.2 installes unasked ?

    I wondered why I see a "Guest" Account on my login screen this morning - as I didn't use that.
    So I went to system preferences to delete it - but I see that I can't delete - the minus Button is greyed out for that "Guest" Account.
    I don't need a "Guest" Account as there's no one but me to use my mac.
    So tell me please how I get this deleted from my Accountlist.
    Thank you.

    Ok, that makes it clear - but not helpfull.
    1) Why is this account named "Guest" instead of "Find my Mac" ?
    A "Find my Mac" account in Preferences/Users would make clear what it is for.
    2) Why is this Account shown on my login screen ?
    I understand that "Find my Ma" is more a "hidden" feature. So it should use a "hidden" account that isn't shown to the public on the login screen.
    Solutions would be:
    - Rename that Account from "Guest" to "Find my Mac"
    - Don't display this account on the login screen and in the Account switcher - just show it in Preferences/User

  • How do you get password on old .mac account that has been changed? For some reason my iphone updates wants old mac acct password.  Can I change that to new one I've had for years?

    Years and years ago when I paid for an email address with mac.com I opened my itunes account and all.  After getting tired of paying for an email account I made a new one, which I can't remember but I thought I changed it, but obviously the .mac stayed on.  My itunes is a gmail account and I have no problems there.  But today when I updated my iphone, after downloading, iphone asked me to enter password for the .mac account.  Well I have no idea what that is now.  I don't know how to even retrieve it.  I can't find the settings to change it over to my gmail account either on my phone.  I go to itunes and it has the gmail account listed, but when trying to activate some things that involved the update, it still asks for .mac account password.  I'm beginning to think this is why I can't get authorization on some of my itune songs to play, they keep saying can't authorize when I am still within the 5 computer limit.  I think I'm going to get a Droid...

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

  • Skype credit that I didn't pay for...

    Hi, I thought I got a one year supscription to Canada & US, but when I got my email receipt, it says "Package funding credit, SkypeOut calling worth of 7 CAD" and when I go into my account it says I have 7$ of Skype credits left... It also says below that I have unlimited Canada & US... I don't recall purchasing Skype credit and it doesn't look like it was charged on my credit card... Is this normal? If it was a mistake and I'm not entitled to it, I don't know who to tell to get it removed... If i did purchase it in error, i'd like to pay for it or have it cancelled if possible... Please let me know! Thank you!

    Assuming that it's an email from Apple, then it should show on your purchase history, so try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
