Pending Contact Request

I can't talk to my parents in another country on video Skype...because there is no way to accept their contact request! The tutorial looks nothing ike my Skype screen. So upset, it's Mothers Day and I couldn't see my mum! Please...any suggestions? Thanks...

Suddenly, after all the headache of trying to add folks and they add me, someone requested that I add them as a contact; then, what do you know the option displayed in the chat window of the requester to accept or decline; also, they were able to add me, woohoo! Then I got a couple other request which verified that request is working back to normal. That is what I'm talking about is action on Skype's behalf rather than to lose customers who do enjoy using Skype. Guess I will keep my paid subscribed phone number as a way of thanking Skype for the service and do not mind paying a SMALL fee to support the Skype platform and the technology. Hope everyone elses is working now.

Friends Suddenly Became Pending Contact Request

A friend of mine who had appeared "online" earlier tonight suddenly became "pending contact request". What does this mean? Am I deleted or blocked by him? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!

I have just had the same issue whereby many contacts became "request pending" most of whom would not disconnect me! I think skype has been comprised? I suggest that the forum managers escalate this issue....!

Delete Pending Contact Request

I'm not seeing the right answer to this anywhere.
I made a contact request to the wrong party. It's still pending, and I wish to delete this.
Unless I click on the contact in the far left column, I can't take any action. The only two apparently relevant actions available when I right-click on the contact name are Delete Conversation and Show Profile. But Delete Conversation doesn't really do anything in this case, and there is no action under profile available to delete this contact.
So what is the solution?

on Skype main screen:
click contacts (left sidebar) > sort through contacts and find persons name > right click and hit delete contact

Pending contact request problemz

I've chatted with three support people about this today -- to no avail.
I'm on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and my friend is using an iPad 3. We both downloaded the app from Skype last night. I sent her a request to be on my contact list, but she never received it. She sent me a request as well, which I've never received.
I redownloaded the Skype app, cleared the cache, resent the request to add several times. My preferences are set to the default settings. She never gets a notice. When she opened the app this morning it kept asking her for money -- we're trying to use the free version.
Can anyone help??? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

Sadly to say, but there appears that there will be no reply to this problem. Looking back at previous concerns and inquiries, their has been no resolution or acknowledgement posted. Well, am trying other video conferencing solutions. What good is having a program that there is no way to accept friends. I will be cancelling my subscription to own a phone number

Contact Requests from Folks Already On List

So my Skype just automatically updated to the newest version, and for some reason, two of the folks on my contacts keep cropping up every time I sign in saying they've "sent a contact request." The thing is, I've had one on my list for about 3 years and the other since last month, nobody else is displaying this problem. I'll close the conversations and it'll prompt me to accept or decline their contact request. No matter what I click, they're still on my list (which is fine), but whenever I open up the conversation with them, they'll still apparently have a "pending contact request." It isn't impeding my ability to message them, which is nice, but it is interfering with my message notifications and it's just a hassle. Is there any way to resolve this? I've reset and even re-installed Skype to see if that fixed the problem, and nothing doing.

I'm having the same problem! I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. It's just really annoying, but not hurting my ability to contact my friends and family.

Contact request showing a pending IM message with ...

Hi - received a contact request today from a person unknown to me.
When I look at the request, there is an IM showing in the history, with the status 'pending', that looks like it has come from me (it has my actual name at the top of the message line, not my user name).
That is odd all by itself, but the content of the IM is one of my passwords, used in other applications/programs.
I have declined the request - and have noticed that the person requesting is offline.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
I have now changed all apps / progs that use this password but it is a little worrying. How did they know my password? It absolutely is not easy to guess and I have never disclosed it.
I am running Skype on a iMac, iPhone 4S and an iPad 2.
Any suggestions on what is going on here?
thanks....

but this means ill have to re enter all my contacts and passwords. i store all my invoices on my phone via an invoice app. restoring from new would mean i would lose all that info which i cant afford to do. thanks for the help tho. maybe ill just have to ride it out till the cache clears out.

Contact Request name

I've sent a contact request to someone and she has asked me to resend it, but I can't because the request is still active and pending. It's occurred to me that a contact request may identify me by my Skype name, and she wouldn't know that was a request from me, because I used a nickname that friends know me by, but she wouldn't. She's a professional connection and knows me by my proper name. Do you know if contact requests are identified with the Skype name? I'm going to email her my user/skype name, in case that's the situation. But I'd like to know if my user/Skype name is what people see when I send a contact request. I may need to open a new account, because that name can't be changed. Obviously, I don't use Skype a lot.Thanks for any clarification!

Skype sent out contact request without permission?...

Alright so I contacted support over this and they just said they couldn't answer my question because they didn't know. I guess I'm not searching for answers anymore but just seeing if this has happened to anyone else or if someone can find some error I made to make this happen ... Thanks for your time in reading.
SO... Awhile back I deleted my ex from Skype and blocked him. I would like to mention I had him blocked numerous times but he could still send a contact request...... Anyways... I had him deleted and blocked and then three days ago, randomly out of NOWHERE... I look at my contacts and he's in them- saying that IVE sent a contact request to HIM.................... And it offered the option to resend it. I flipped out so hard because it really does make me look crazy if he got a contact request from me............ Out of nowhere ....
I can only hope it was a one sided thing and he never got the receiving end of that message. I had him blocked but nowhere in the chat near 'resend request' did it say 'this contact is blocked' as I seem to remember it doing before.
Ugh.. This situation had me so fearful that it would start like, spamming contact requests or later on doing something else because if Skype support can't explain it, then im just gonna just go ahead and say my account was possessed. To try and counter this, I deleted the account today and made a new one.
So yeah, anyone have any similar experience? ... Did I do something critically wrong that somehow did this? Is it possible /he/ was the one sending the request? (OFC that doesn't make sense because it was giving me the option to resend and saying it was pending.) also, if it's pending does that mean he hasn't accepted and the request was waiting there or could it be rejected and still say pending?
Thanks for your time xoxoxox ♡

Today I had a new person added to my contacts list, (not recent conversations), that I did not approve. I have had people I don't know randomly request to be added but this is the first time where someone was added without my consent.
First off, I would like to report this individual since he has obviously circumvented Skype security features. He is soliciting his S. African business through his profile. How do I go about reporting this because aside from this forum on security I can't find a way to report on your website. I have read several other users post similar stories dating back a few years and I am surprised this is still an issue although I am grateful I have never had this happen before.
Here is the information on the unsolicited contact:

Skype contact requests not going through to other ...

Hi,
I have this problem where I send a contact request to someone and their icon stays as a question mark and they say they haven't received the request for long intervals of time. I have four requests pending right now, with people I know well in real life that we exchanged Skype account with, and for about a week now the request just wouldn't go through to the other side. I've tried restarting and tried resending the requests.
Does someone know what the source of this problem could be?
Thanks in advance!
-Y
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have changed all the setting to allow everyone but my contact request is not being received and calls not being answered. Both computers have Windows 8 and when I send the request it says it was send but the person does not get anything on their screen about getting a contact request, they look in recent and nothing shows, looked in IM and nothing shows. Where do they go to see they have a contact request?

How to get details of Pending Approval request in OIM 11g R2?

Hi,
We need to find out following details from Pending Approval Request in OIM 11g R2 -
Request ID,Assignees,Requested Resource Name, Title of Request, Beneficiary, Status of Request.
Out of above attributes we could find out Assignees, Title of Request, Status of Request, Beneficiary, etc. But we are not getting Request ID and Requested Resource Name.
We have used API - 'IworkflowServiceClient'
If we use API - 'RequestService' then we are not getting Assignees and Resource name from Pending approval request.
Can any one suggeste how can we get these details? Do we need to use other API or other alternative to get all of attributes from Pending Approval Request.
Thanks.

Thanks Kevin for your suggestion.
In OIM 11g R2 I tried task.getIdentificationKey() to get Request ID and task.getSystemMessageAttributes().getTextAttribute6() to get requested resource name but I am getting null values out of it. Is there something I am missing?
Which common thing I can use to retrieve data from both OIM and SOAINFRA? As I am not getting Request ID from 'IworkflowServiceClient' API so I could not use it to earch request in OIM using 'RequestService'. Even if I have to use query what will be common thing I can use to fetch data from both tablespaces?
Thanks.

Unwanted Contact Request?

i did not see a support forum on the support tab and my search question "why did i get a request from someone i do not know" turned up nothing. can this be posted here?
i have never had a problem with skype in the past since i have gotten it. i believe it was 2011.
Alright, so i login to skype to see which of my contacts is online and to hopefully chat with them. Then i notice i have 1 new contact request. I go to look at it and it says "princess_cassisexox111 (Joy Rodgers)". I then ask some of contacts if they knew this contact and they reply "no"
I then try talking to this contact to see if they know me from somewhere. Here is the conversation. Twinkle is my display name since it was already taken on here.
Twinkle has shared contact details with Joy Rodgers.
[8:32:54 PM] Twinkle: who is this?
[8:33:00 PM] Joy Rodgers: heyy there hun, ya busy? saw u online so i figured i'd send a message and see
[8:33:16 PM] Joy Rodgers: 27/f here, you?
-i did not even ask for their age or gender-
[8:33:17 PM] Twinkle: [8:32:54 PM] Twinkle: who is this?
-i try a second time to figure out who they are. perhaps a familar username from another site-
[8:33:32 PM] Joy Rodgers: oh ok so whatcha up 2?
[8:33:53 PM] Twinkle: Who Is This?
-i try caps the first letter of each word to try to get this contact to notice the message-
[8:34:11 PM] Joy Rodgers: ahh well i was just checkin my inbox on Just Hook Up, i got out of a relationship a few months back and im sick of going out and meeting guys at clubs.
[8:34:26 PM] Joy Rodgers: my friend told me about it and i was like umm idk about all that lol, but in all honesty i really like it and i've met some really cool people from there too. do u have a profile anywhere or any pics?
[8:34:47 PM] Twinkle: how did you get this skype name
-at this point, i ask how you they found out my skype name-
[8:35:02 PM] Joy Rodgers: i actually just finished uploading some new pics from last weekend if u wanna see?
[8:35:27 PM] Twinkle: [8:34:47 PM] Twinkle: how did you get this skype name? do i need to caps the message
[8:35:49 PM] Joy Rodgers: alright here's my profile bit.ly/15Wc4l0 that has my photos there. u might have to sign in to see them like on facebook i'm not sure but u should sign up anyway
-the link in this message, i suspect to be a spam/harmful link of some sort-
[8:36:02 PM] Joy Rodgers: it only takes a couple seconds and it's totally free, no credit card or anything stupid like that. plus i can send you a friend request and we can get to know each other better
-here, im being told to register for a possible dating site, which im not going to do-
[8:36:13 PM] Twinkle: we are through here
[8:36:33 PM] Joy Rodgers: Once u do send me ure username so i can send u a friend request 2..
-at this point, i decided to end the conversation since this contact would not answer my questions and blocked-
[8:37:18 PM] *** Twinkle blocked Joy Rodgers ***
how did this contact get a hold of me? could this of been a bot?

I'm almost sure that those are scammers/spammers/or phishers. Unfortunately, those unwanted users are very resourceful individual. They may have numerous ways to search for valid Skype usernames.
ignore and block them, and/or report them to [email protected] for misusing/abusing Skype services.

New contact requests not showing up.

Normally under contacts on the left new contact requests appear now they are not. Skype version 5.6.0.143 Mac osx version 10.5.8 I tried deleting all remenants of skype under application support and redownloading yet nothing. Please help!!

I asked an overseas friend to be on Skype, but he did not show up in my contact list. He received an email from Skype and carried out the instructions, I am on his contact list.
I asked him to send me an invitation - it came - I accepted - All is well now.

We need help with unwanted contact requests

In the last 2 weeks, I have received 13 unwanted contact requests that I have blocked, which is roughly 2 unwanted contact requests for every Skype message or call I'm interested in receiving.
All of my privacy settings are set to "Contacts" and I do not publish my Skype ID on LinkedIn, the only social media site I use.
What else can I do?

Hello Gilad,
Thank you for your contact!
The script does not work, no error message comes up, I am sure it`s a
stupid mistake but neither my boss nor I are programmers.
Please have a look at the form enclosed, the field in question (field
name "calculated currency value", red border) is on the top right and
refers to the field "FX" (field name "FXname 4800") below (blue border)
Both fields are in number format so I don`t know why this doesn't work,
what else can it be?
With kind regards
Ursula

Receiving contact requests.

Alright so my friend once lived in Australia with me she then moved to America. I only use Skype to chat with her but for about 4 weeks now I have been getting contact requests NON STOP from creepy old men claiming to be "U.S Army Veterans" I am really creeped out. I have blocked all of them. I have changed my privacy settings but it still hasn't stopped them. I have no clue who they are and I am really creeped out. How can I stop this?!

This is an old problem http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Strangers-keep-contacting-me/td-p/620247/pa...
I have the same issue. I have always had all my privacy/IM/Video settings set to contact only. I do not have an MSN account so the crossover issue mentioned in the thread I linked, whatever that was, isn't it.
I asked the last one how he got my contact details. After lying that I'd given them to him, he absolutely refused to answer.
First he said I must have given him the info in another group (I don't know him from Adam, very creepy shot-in-the-dark from him, since I DON'T use skype except to call my family's landlines in the UK via subscription - if that was true, why not open with a "Hi it's xxx from site yyy"?)
I said that was impossible, he said, "Hmmmn. Don't know."
I said, "How did you know what contact name to add? Go on, I promise I won't be cross "
He said "I don't know what to tell you."
At that point I thanked him for his time and blocked him.
I don't get a lot, and it's strange how they do _seem_ to be army. I don't for a second think they are. There are scamers out there using US army guys faces to borrow credibility to get you to talk to them.
In which case, they are probably finding contact names by doing to places like dating sites and running through the username lists they find there. If your skype contact id is not unique to skype, you can be contact by guesswork, basically. Skype can't fix that.
Skype CAN fix that the last one IM-ed me and he's not in my contact list, contrary to my provacy settings. That suggests there's an exploit in skype's security that is being hacked, possibly by an organised effort since the type of contact is so consistent.
My advice to average user bearing the brunt of this - since we are the actualy target and what they want is money - is to save the conversation, then block and report, and post the convo here if you can so the community can get a handle on how widespread this is.
Never, ever give out personal identification info or money out online, not even if the person convinces you absolutely that you two are in love. They contact you, get real info and a background check but don't just take thier word for anything.
Ref: http://usmilitary.about.com/u/ua/justicelawlegislation/Are-You-A-Victim-Of-A-Romance-Scam.htm Scroll down to the name nj flinn - that post talk about use of army guys names in scams on skype.
Good luck and stay safe,
Mulberry
