Re: Bizarre Chinese/Skype Manager Emails

Hi - my husband has same problem (we are in UK) and has received same Chinese email with 100 Euros been credited to the account.  Our bank has called us to query the credit card transaction and we have cancelled it as it wasn't requested.  Also he can't now log in to his Skype account, and attempts to get a new password have failed to get him back into his account.  Have you or anyone else made progress?

  • Skype Manager Confirmation email addresss?

    Im not receiving my confirmation email in order to get my Skype Manager account going? Anyone know or remember which domain this confirmation email address comes from? I need to add to my safe senders list.. Thx

    No. As a Skype Manager Administrator, you CAN'T change your email address: 
    Registered email address* admin_email @ domain.com (Can’t be changed)
    There is an an option to remove that status from your account -> 
    Skype Manager settings
    UNCHECK Make this member a Skype Manager administrator after you give another member admin status.
    Once this has been removed, you should be able to make the required change then add your ADMIN status back to account.
    Let us know if this helps you at all,

  • Adding multiple contacts with Skype manager

    This support page: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10867/how-do-i-add-other-members-of-my-skype-manager-to-my-contac... indicates that there's an option on the left-hand side to select multiple contacts.  I'm not seeing this on the page described, I can only add contacts one by one.  Is this feature something I need to "turn on" somewhere in my settings?
    In addition, I've noticed in the past month or so, even by adding contacts one-by-one, only around the first 40 people receive the request to be added as a contact.  After that, no one receives invites.  This is very frustrating for adding all of our business's contacts at the same time.
    I've tried this in Mac 10.7.4 and 10.8.  I've also switched to a PC, but the same thing happens.  Does anyone have any insights?

    Just an update (2013 Nov 25). There is now an option to add multiple contact using csv file. Here is a simple direction: Create a csv file with 2 columns 1st column is the email address and the 2nd column is the name of the account. Then go to Members > Add members > create business accounts > then click on Browse..., choose the file you just created and it should be able to import the contacts.

  • Invitation to join a Skype Manager, followed by or...

    Around 5 AM I received an email with an invitation to join a skype manager, then a few minutes later a group of emails in a foreign language looking like order confirmations.
    I've never had a payment account associated with my Skype account so I don't fear anything there, but my account history does now show what appears to be a $26 Canadian purchase of Skype Credit, being bought with Skype Credit, then used to purchase a Taiwan calling plan using Korean currency from Skype Credit.
    Now my account shows a $0.02 balance and an apparently unused calling plan for Taiwan.
    This was a long-unused account that's password had been shared with sites that have been breached over the years, so it's likely that's how they got in, but just a FYI that apparently people are breaking in to accounts that don't have any funds, funding them, and buying subscriptions they then don't use.  I don't get it myseif.
    I have changed my password and canceled the subscription.

    You are lying. The requirement is completly the same as yesterday.
    yesterday:
    But the requirement is like :
    STAFF_CD START_DT END_DT AMOUNT
    3 05-SEP-00 31-MAR-01 450
    3 01-APR-01 10-MAY-01 450
    ie., "staff_cd" 3's "start_dt" to "end_dt" is splited 2 times.
    ie. (05-SEP-00 to 31-MAR-01) and (01-APR-01 10-MAY-01) having the same amount. Likewise for all others, Kindly mark the expected outcome.
    Today:

  • Blocked user account in Skype Manager

    I have a user in my company that is showing a "Blocked Account" when I sign into our Skype Manager. When I click on his username to take me to more information, I get an error message stating: "Service Unavailable. We're having technical problems. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again after a few minutes."
    This has been happening for over a week now, and when I submitted an email suport request to Skype, their support (Rodeline C.) sent me here instead of answering my question. Any thoughts on how I can get this user working? Thanks!
    Title text amended for clarity.

    cyradm is not part of 10.3.x
    To use it you would have to install it first. See here:
    http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20040814204411280&query=cyradm
    And then follow the instructions given beforehand.
    Having said that, your issue can be resolved differently. You deleted all mail manually in the file system (not a good idea, but what is done is done). So the mail is actually gone. What you are seing is Cyrus' index. Since you deleted manually the index didn't get updated. To get rid of the problem either reconstruct that users mailbox throgh Server Admin - > Mail or alternatively run:
    sudo -u cyrus reconstruct -r user/gordon (assuming that's the user's name)

  • Unable to access Skype Manager

    I've been unable to access Skype Manager for 8 days now.  My account works fine to log in regularly via the skyep app (to make calls, chat, etc), and I can even login to the skype site to change settings for that account.  I just can't get into the Skype Manager.  When I do, I see an error message (screenshot below) either after I'm prompted for my login credentials, or immediately upon clicking the Skype Manager link if I'm already logged in.
    When I chat or email Skype support, they either claim that it's working fine, or they say that a "specialized department" (they always refuse to name the department when I ask) will take care of it and email me.  The email invariably arrive a couple of days later telling me that everything is working fine, and if for some reason it's still not working, I should contact Skype chat support.
    I tried reaching out to Claudius at @SkypeSupport via twitter and all I got back from him were these two non-specific and not-helpful tweets:  
    @mdavep I just successfully logged onmanager.skype.com in using IE9. Which browser are you using and which error do you see? ^CH
    (when I answered his question he did not reply)
    -and-
    @mdavep Which page are you trying to login? Your web account page is here:skype.com/go/myaccount ^CH
    (when I answered his question he did not reply)
    My business is suffering as a result of these problems, as I am unable to reassign phone numbers to my sales teams and make changes to my tracked numbers for my ad campaigns.  I'm probably losing about $250-$500 per day that this is not working.
    Screenshot:

    We've identified a login problem with Skype Manager and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
    Sorry for the inconvenience (and confusion caused by my follow up tweet).
    Unfortunately I can't share an ETA for the fix yet.

  • Skype Manager or Premium - Not Sure

    Hello,
    I just purchased the Skype Premium and I did not receive a phone number.  Was I supposed to?
    I have an assistant in the Philippines to make phone calls for me to the US. Should I use the Skype Manager for business instead of the Skype Premium?
    Thank You!

    Hello jn_48.
    Get an Online Number. Save up to 50% on your Online Number with a subscription.
    1. Purchase confirmation. Once you've bought a subscription you'll receive a confirmation email and a notification in the Home area of your Skype
    2. Dial a number. Click the Call phones button to open the Skype dial pad and enter the number you want to call or choose a number from your contact list.
    3. Enjoy your call. Your calling minutes will decrease as you use them (except unlimited plans 2). If you use all your minutes, or you want to call a destination not covered by your subscription, you'll need to buy either another subscription or use Skype Credit to make pay-per-minute calls.
    Here are the links to the two pages that speak about Online Numbers and Subscriptions
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/online-number/

  • Account annoyingly redirecting me to chinese skype when i try to buy credit

    Hello. I've had my skype account for some years now. I have always recharged it in the US and I created my account in the US. I've been trying unsuccessfully for some time now to add credit to my account but it redirects me no matter what I do to skype.tom. It is getting annoying, this place only offers calling plans, I want it as I always have used it, pay on the go!, what to do? Please help me remodify this so that I can purchase from the USA website. I even tried connecting trough a VPN US server while in China and it STILL redirects me to the chinese skype. I know that it has nothing to do with the connectivity because I have had to add credit to my sister's account and I can do it through the skype website with no problem. It is just my user name that is stubbornly redirected to china skype.
    Please fix this!

  • How to withdraw consent from Skype Manager and can...

    If someone is a member of a Skype Manager and have been allocated a Skype business account, how can he withdraw the consent for monitoring. And whether the manager can also monitor the actual Chat, the instant messages? 

    Hey Janice268,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to add a contact from Mail. The following article outlines how to do so:
    Mail (Mavericks): Add information to Contacts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14928
    In an address field of a message you’re sending or a message you received, move the pointer over an address, click the arrow that appears, then choose Add to Contacts.
    In a message you received, move the pointer over a phone number, email address, or street address anywhere in the text. Mail outlines the information; click the arrow and choose an option from the pop-up menu. For example, add the data to an existing contact.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • One skype number for multiple users in Skype Manag...

    Is it possible to get one Skype-in phone number and assign it to multiple members in Skype Manager?
    If so, how do I go about it?
    I also asked this here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/One-skype-number-for-multiple-users-in-Skype-Manager/m-p/...

    You could always allocate a number to multiple business accounts in Skype Manager. Then re-direct the number via IP-PBX to go to different extensions.
    Try the following here [If you look in the advanced section of this manual, you'll see an example of two accounts using one number]
    http://download.skype.com/share/business/guides/skype-connect-user-guide.pdf
    7.5 Online Numbers for incoming calls
    You can use both business Skype accounts and Online Numbers simultaneously on a
    single SIP Profile if you wish. In other words, you may have multiple business accounts
    and Online Numbers added to one SIP Profile at the same time.

  • Got skype #, can't get into skype manager to set c...

    logged in to skype manager, but it requires a company name etc.?? this is just personal stuff.  any way to get around this other than to 'fake' info?

    Hi, mk1992,
    Please access your account dashboard starting by clicking on the link that appears at the upper right corner of the main Skype website page -  http://www.skype.com/en/  - where you will see a Sign In "button."  If you are on the Skype Support website page, the link at the upper right corner of that page reads Sign In. 
    It appears you may have misunderstood that the place to sign on to your account information is via the Skype website.  You are correct; there is no need to set up or to use a Skype Manager configuration for a personal use account, so therefore this would not the appropriate place to access your account information and would look confusing; please do not input terms if you have no intention to set up a Skype Manager configuration for a business.
