This morning I saw skype charge on credit card and I see unknown activity. somebody is calling using my account. I changed the password and still see the calling. I tried searching for the customer support phone number but was unable to do so. I even chatted with the customer representative but to no avail. I trusted your service and now I am stranded with some hacker using my account. There is no quick customer support and which is very frustrating.

My Account also got hacked and I too was charged $20. I too had seen some 200+ SMS sent to phone numbers in China. I think Skype servers are hacked and they are not informing users about it. 
Can someone from Skype respond ?

  • My Skype Account been Hacked, and I can't seem to ...

    Hello, 
    Hopefully someone can help me here.  My SKYPE Log in has been hacked by someone.  I can still access my account with my Microsoft (hotmail) log on.  I can only assume that they have used my old Skype log on to get in and change details.
    My concern is that I am finding the lack of contact from Skype/Microsoft very frustrating.  I have filled in the Customer Support Team query, then got an email back asking for me to complete again.  Since then, I have recieved nothing, not even a confirmation that they have received my return and are looking into it.
    Is this normal?  Surely you would expect some acknowledgment of reciept?
    Can someone please help.
    Thank you
    Peter

    If your email is deleted, that doesn't necessarily mean your Apple ID is. Try resetting your Apple ID password at iforgot.apple.com and then all you've got to do is go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account. From there you can enter the password you changed it to and remove your iCloud account from your device.

  • Re: My skype account was hacked and unauthorised s...

    I had the same problem today, had £16 of credit and when I tried to log in to my account today I got a message saying that it had been suspended, contacted LiveChat and they were no use because I havent credited anything to my account in a few years so couldnt give them my card number which turned out to be lucky.
    I had received a mail apparently from Skype but it was in Chinese or something so assumed it was spam but now I assume this was actually the email to tell me of the suspicious activity.
    Somehow I also got an email on how to reset my password and this unlocked my account and then I saw the 54 mins of calls to Guinea made yesterday.
    Really hope Skype sort out their security as working in IT, I dont believe it is anything that I can have done to have allowed access to my account!
    Good luck getting your calls sorted out.

    Hello,
    This is not a Skype responsibility.
    The ONLY way that your account can be hacked is by the hacker knowing (or "cracking") your password. You should now change this immediately.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.
    Please note that I generally don't respond to unsolicited Private Messages. Thank you.

  • My account was hacked and bought Skype credits on ...

    Recently, my Skype account was hacked and it was used to buy credits on my behalf.  Admittedly, my account was set on autocharge and I use it from to time to call my family.  Upon receiving the payment notification, I checked my call history and I was shocked to see that calls were made to Russia.  I do not anyone in Russia nor have I any business calling that country.  I have changed my settings recently and I don't know if that's enough to keep the hackers out of it.
    This is very allarming and I hope something gets done about it.  Skype Team, HELP!

  • My email got hacked and now my Yahoo has someone elses name on it?

    My yahoo account got hacked and I am trying to find out if it is a problem with my Firefox or if it is with Yahoo itself. When I do use the email it always gives someone else as the return person. A Rev Father is the one there now.

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

    Hello,
    I checked my Skype account this morning and noticed a call made from my account an hour before I was even awake to a user I've never heard of, certainly no one who is one of my contacts.  When I went to change my password the Skype site would not let me.  It permitted me to enter my current password, but then the "New Password" and "Confirm New Password" bars were frozen.  Can anyone give me any information about this?
    I appreciate it very much.

    My Skype account was hacked few hours ago, an online number was bought, plus a lot of credit was used.
    How can I get my money back ?
    I don't see contact support anywhere..please help

    Same thing happened to me.  Skype is a TERRIBLE company to deal with.  I only lost 80 pence < 1USD so I don't really care, but I will never load credit onto my account again.  Skype just lost a customer. Apart from any free services they have. 
    I don't see how my account was hacked, I use it very rarley. It just autologs in. I run it on a networked business PC and the IT guys can't find any viruses/trojons on it.  
    Skype don't care about their customers from my experiences with them

  • Skype account is hacked, need help!!!

    My Skype account is hacked, the password and registered email address has been changed by the hacker. I have submitted skype support request online a few days ago, and no reply at all.
    I've spent hundreds dollars on skype calling service and I have a lot of important contacts on my skype account. Right now the hacker is probably pretenting me to contact my contacts, or maybe using my credit card information saved on skype.
    There is no Skype support phone I can call, online support seems little help. What can I do to get my skype account back?
    HELP!!!

    Just open the link below to report your hacked/stolen account. Select Security and Privacy as Help Topic and Identity Theft/Account Takeover as the Related Problem. Then Click the Continue Support Request button near at the bottom of the page.
    https://support.skype.com/en/support_request?needsLogin=false&topic=****************241&problem=****...
    I think Skype usually respond to users' concern within 24-72 hours.

  • Accounts being hacked and credit taken, new page a...

    As the other page http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Tru​st-and/Incorrect-charge-of-100-Euros/td-p/867774 is now locked (wonder why) I have continued on here.
    My account was hacked and all my credit used to call people all over the world. When that credit ran out they took €35 on the auto recharge that they activated ( I had it turned off)
    I only found out I was being attacked when my PC sounded to say I had new messages and I saw they were from paypal for a skype recharge which I had not done.
    I changed my passwords on paypal and skype right away and put in a charge dispute with paypal. I contacted Skype expecting to be told that it was under control and that I would be refunded, However instead I was told it was no problem there end and that it was my fault for letting the hackers guess or be given my password. They then fobbed me off and told me that paypal would refund the recharge but my credit I had before would not be refunded.
    After looking on here I found that lots of others were also being hacked and fobbed of the same so I went back on the live chat and demanded my money back.
    this morning I received this message and a refund of my lost credit.
    Hello,
    My name is Silja and I am contacting you in regards to your previous conversation in Chat Support, session 970704 and the problem you have with your "unauthorizedentry" account.
    Please be so kind and accept my apologies for the issues you are having with your Skype account.
    I have gone through the chat session you had before and I can see that you have been advised to change your password and follow the instructions on how to make sure that your PC is secure.
    Regarding the fraudulent purchases made from your Skype account, I can see that you have already asked your PayPal office to reverse the fraudulent purchase made during this incident. This means that once your PayPal office has finished their process, you will get all the funds back you lost during this incident.
    Also, I do understand how frustrating this incident must have been and there for I would like to offer you with a €15.00 Skype Credit voucher as a compensation of the lost time.
    Again, I am very sorry for this issue and should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
    Have a nice day!
    Best regards,
    Silja
    Skype Customer Service Specialist
    It is very sad that I had to go demanding anything from them as they should have refunded me no questions.

    Hello I also have just realised I have had my skype account hacked, in the last two weeks, firstly i was talking to the maldives and then my credit in literally in 2 seconds went from $13.oo skype dollars to zero and I was cut off, on the 27th December I was charged twice on my account where only one credit showed up on my skype account of $16.00 dollars while, the other 16.00 skype dollars never appeared, on top of that I was just talking to day and had 13.00 in my account and then it just literally vanished in the middle of business deal while on the phone to the maldives.
    Now its back to zero, where otherwise I have been talking to diefferent parts of the world, I'm not happy and need someone from skype to sort this mess out seems like you guys are being hacked from someone on the inside.
