How To Security Report Security Vulnurability On S...

Question

So for the past 2 hours I've been trying to report a security issue regarding Skype.
Can someone please provide me with a direct phone number or email to the relevent security department to file the report to and request a claim of any Microsoft bounty applicable.
Over the past 2 hours I've had Skype Chat Support give me a Microsoft phone number who sent me about from department to department, fobbed me off, and nigh-on insulted me, all the while unable to comprehend that the issue wasn't with my account but with a Microsoft product, who eventually then told me to use Skype Chat Support who then told me for some absurd reason told me to contact Microsoft advertising department or to post all of the information here.
As you can understand this is really starting to get my goat so I was wondering if anyone had any direct/security way of reporting this by phone or email.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hi, ScottBull, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does not host a telephone call-in facility, and nor does Skype use a general e-mail address.  I have flagged your report for review by those to whom I report, as Skype Customer Service ought to have reported your findings to the correct authority within Skype. 
I am not familiar with any bounty or payments offered for these types of reports.
Regards,
Elaine
