Skype account locked due to suspicious activity - ...

My Skype account was locked (I have since had it released and reset my password), due to 'suspicious activity'.
This activity, however, was not suspicious.
Myself and my partner both use it for business. He is travelling in the Philippines at the moment, and when I log in I use it from the UK.
Is there any way to contact Skype to inform them of this so that the lock doesn't happen again?
Many thanks!

After not receiving satisfactory treatment, I am now posting this to ALL of my social media:
I was hacked by a Russian Hacker, into my Primary Skype Account. I have gone through the process of reclamation of my account four times, and been denied restoration every time. I don't want to drag out all the background, or the stupidity of Skype. But I recommend that all Skype customers find alternative services for future usage, and uninstall Skype programs on their devices.
I will never ever use a Skype program again in my entire life. I recommend that you do the same. When Skype is incapable of even looking at a situation with honesty, and rewards thieves for stealing, then they have no business being in business.

Suddenly I am unable to send emails, which are being blocked due to "suspicious activity." Yahoo help notes it is probably my ISP that is preventing my emails from being sent. How can I unblock this?

On Friday afternoon, I attempted to reply to emails in my Yahoo Inbox, but I received a pop-up message preventing me from sending the emails. It said that my emails cannot be sent due to suspected "suspicious activity" on my email account and cannot send it in order to protect me and those I am attempting to send the messages to. I looked up Yahoo Help and the online suggestion was that my ISP might be blocking the email and I might have to change my ISP address. My antivirus software carrier's server went down briefly a couple of weeks ago and I could not upload the updates until they were up and running again. I had some suspicious emails generated from my account during that time, without my knowledge. I changed my password immediately and updated my Email Protection through my antivirus software program. But now I can't send emails. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Mac user account locked out in Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
I have some users who get their user account locked out several times a day.
It seems to be an issue with the keychain.
Our users need to change their password every 90 days domain GPO applied on every users.
Do you know how to fix this issue?
I have notice that most of the time this happens when the Mac wakes up from sleep mode while still connected to the network and when the users try to re login.
Thank you.

Hi Nicky
I had a very similar problem a while back. It turned out that I had another device trying to retrieve mail from the corporate account. in my case it was an iPod that was just sitting on charge for weeks at a time but was accessing the Exchange server with the wrong password, after having changed it due to the same password policy you use. Of course after a set number of tries, the AD locked the account.
I always remember to change my iPhone password now

OIM 11gR2 - Push/Pull account locked out information from Active Directory

Hi
At this moment, we are using the default reconciliation method from the Active Directory Connector in OIM 11G R2 to fetch incremental information from AD. This runs every 15 minutes.
However, the customer complains that the time from which the user gets himself locked out due to too many failed login attempts, until it shows up on the OIM account is too long. Worst case, this could be 15 minutes after the user gets himself locked out.
Do anyone have any tips on how we could either push this information from AD-side, or pull this information from OIM more often? Could we create a special scheduled job that just looks for Locked Accounts, and reconciles this each minute?
Best Regards
lloberg

Hi,
Sure, that's definitely possible. You can use the Active Directory cmdlets to retrieve this information. Here's an example of reading input from a text file (just usernames in the text file):
Get-Content .\userList.txt | ForEach {
Get-ADUser -Identity $_ -Properties EmailAddress
You can also read input from a CSV file quite easily. This example assumes a header of Username:
Import-Csv .\userList.csv | ForEach {
Get-ADUser -Identity $_.Username -Properties EmailAddress
Finally, here's a link to the Get-ADUser syntax:

Aultomatic User Locks due to no activity/no logins

Hi All,
I am on version 4.6C. I am looking for a way to lock users automatically if they don't logon for a period of lets say 90 days. I want to know if there is a way, preferably a system parameter which can do this for me?If not is there any standard way to automate this?
Best Wishes,
CP

I think it depends on your version. My NetWeaver 2004 miniSAP has a parameter called "login/password_max_idle_productive". According to [SAPhelp|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/22/41c43ac23cef2fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm] this is available after SAP NetWeaver 6.40.
So basically upgrading is a way to automate this Or bespoke programming like Sneha suggested.

Account locked out and no way to recover because o...

Hello,
I am posting this for my friend who has recently been locked out of his account due to "suspicious activity". This happened because he had to reactivate his credit to make an international landline call. He doesn't usually do this and his credit has previously been deactivated twice.
Now that he is locked out he cannot use the account recovery page (https://support.skype.com/en/account-recovery) to recover his account because his credit card has changed.
He doesn't know his old credit card detail, which he used to credit his account over a year ago.
Is there another way to recover his account? is there a way to talk to a human being so that this can be sorted? Even the online support page asks for his previous credit card number before processing any requests.
Thank you to anyone who has any suggestions.
Amy.

support may indeed ask your friend to verify some details before they can proceed in assisting them further. you can advise him to contact his bank to request for their old card details.

Email account locked

I had to delete my ISP email address from my blackberry 8700g otherwise it was locking up my email acct with my ISP. I could not connect to their server and download messages. No changing of any settings helped and I have had this phone with this acct for two years. Use Outlook 2007.
Any ideas why this happenned all of a sudden.
Ken

Just some of the things I can think of .....
You may want to key in the password you usually enter for your ISP email account on a blank note or email message to confirm that it appears correctly. If the BB device keyboard faulty, what you type could end up as something else, thus could cause account lock due to incorrect password.
You can try to ask the ISP to reset your email password, setup again to check if it happens.
If I've been helpful please consider giving me kudos. Please remember to resolve your thread .

Account locked by Skype WITHOUT using common sense

I made an account for a friend and bought a voucher for him. After his first call, the account got locked. Here is the discussion I had on Skype`s live chat. It`s quite hilarious how a multi billion company like Skype hires cheap support from the Phillipines. Why would they do that unless they don`t want people using their service.... Please read on as it is quite hilarious. Oh, can someone ( a NATIVE English speaker prefferably) tell me what in God`s name is the "speciality group" and what is his role?

Thank you, Danny. Let me just take a quick look at your account information. It shouldn't take 4-5 minutes and then I can help you further.
9:38:53 AM danwdpp
there is clear no issue of fraud, because as you can see, I made the account from the same IP that I`m talking with you right now and the purcahse was made using a non-chargeback method.
9:39:20 AM danwdpp
you can verify my email address, shouldn`t be any issues
9:40:20 AM Meschelle O.
I'm back! We have already checked your account and confirmed that the account was restricted.

Unfortunately for the time being it must remain suspended until further notice while we continue to investigate whether the activity that has taken place within the account has violated our Terms of Use:

surely it is common sense to see that there is no fraud involved here

No idea what this error message means and as for suspicious activity, they could have chosen a more intuitive - explanatory error message.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Merging two active Skype accounts

I have two active Skype accounts .... s.neal2 and neal.gardner3 .... I have a balance of over $9;00 on s.neal2 account and a zero balance on my neal.gardner3 account. Most of my contacts are on my neal.gardner3 and I would like to delete s.neal2 account and transfer my money balance to my neal.gardner3 account. How can this be done? Thanks.

I have the same problem except that on 1) I purchased the unlimited US calling for a year for $54 (at a discount) and on 2) I purchased an actual landline phone number. I need to merge them into one account. You asked this 2 weeks ago. Can anyone help? I can't see where to contact Skype without paying for Skype Premium (and I'm not sure that will work since I haven't done it). Have you gotten any answers to your question?
