Skype mysteriously calling people in my contacts l...

I am really annoyed by the lack of accountability of the Skype service. My elderly father just received a call from my Skype number that I did not make. He was confused and anxious, and I had to explain that it was not a genuine call.
Who do I call to sort out this problem? There is no customer service number available.
I cannot see any alternative to prevent this happening again apart from ending my Skype service.
Can anyone provide me with a customer service call number please?
Thank you.

Have you tried to power off and on?  If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

  • Dial pad isn't working, can only call people in my contacts

    I have a blackberry style, 9670 and i can't dial using numbers the only number that works is 0.  when i want to make an outgoing call i can only call people that are in my contacts. So in order for me to call someone who isn't in my contacts i need to add them to my contacts... which i don't exactly want to keep adding every number to my phone book, it's annoying... can someone please help me!!!!

    Start with a battery pull.  Remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it a few seconds later.
    Let us know if that works.

  • Why is it that I am unable to have Siri call people from my contact list

    Why is it that Siri is not able to make calls from my contact list... Does living in Belize have anything to do with it?

    Possibly... Siri is still a beta product.

  • Skype Video Calling

    I installed the latest version of Skype to test out video calling between our iPhone 4's and 3GS 8GB, but there is no link for "video" on the contact page - only "call" and "SMS." The other phones also have skype installed. A regular phone call does go through, but no link to video calls.
    Any idea what's going on?

    You can only make skype calls from within your skype app. You don't have any link to skype video calls from within your contacts page. You have to go into your skype app select one of your skype contacts that are online at that time and tap the video call button.
    You can't make skype calls to any of your contacts from your phones contacts list; you have to go through skype

  • When I try to answer a skype video call from someone, the call is ended before I can get it!  As soon as I click on the phone icon or the camera icon, it ends the call.  This only happens from one contact.

    When I try to answer a skype video call on my Ipad (2nd generation), as soon as I click on the phone or video icon the call is ended.  This only happens with one of my contacts.  I can video call them without any problem!  But not in reverse.  Any suggestions???

    You may have better luck posting this on the Skype forum to see if anyone else has had the problem.

  • Urgent : Mystery Calls using Skype

    Hi,
    As i would like to use Skype to make mystery calls to test competence of my call centre support, I have a few questions:
    Example:
    I call using Skype from Singapore to China Call Centre, what is the phone number that will appear at the receiver's phone?
    Is this number the same for every call, no matter to which country?
    Or no number will appear?
    This is very important as I am using it for mystery calls.
    Thank you in anticipation.
    Rgds,
    KTY 

    You need to set the callerID on the Skype accounting page, so that the specific Skype online number is able to show on the caller's phone.

  • Linking contacts in skype like in people hub.

    So, it's been asked before, but has been unanswered for over a year, maybe you'll see this one, Microsoft.
    So I have Skype, Microsoft Live, and now Facebook contacts all in my skype list. Wouldn't it be nice if I could link my fiance's contacts across all three together so that she doesn't show up 3 times in my contact list? I love looking at her beautiful face, but I don't need to see her and other people's contact info three times over in my contact list. A nice little way to link them together like what we have in the people hub of both windows 8 and windows phone 8 would be nice. This seems like a very basic feature that should have been added when microsoft first purchased skype...

    Now theres this weird guy named JUSTIN GRAFTON in my skype contacts now...what the heck, someone explain this, please?

  • All my incoming calls show unknown, even though most a from people in my contact list.  How do I correct this?

    Why do all my incoming calls show unknown, even when they are from people in my contact list?

    Hi Hedland,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to first check your caller ID settings, as mentioned in this article:
    iPhone: Understanding phone features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4515
    Caller ID
    iPhone (GSM networks)
    Turn on or off in Settings > Phone
    iPhone (CDMA networks)
    Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID
    If your settings are correct, try the troubleshooting steps in our iPhone Assistant:

    All the best,

  • Skype sending calls on its own

    Starting with my change from a note 2 to a note 4, Skype has begun randomly sending calls to my contacts. When I caught it doing this there was a faint buzz/ring much quieter than normal ringing and more the volume of things such as the keyboard tap noise.
    The call attempts last about as long as a normal call attempt but then are marked as failed.
    It does not bring up the 'call' screen it's all entirely in the background and I only know it attempted a call afterwards when it shows a 'call failed' message on that person's text history.
    Since I only use Skype for texting is there a way to disable calling? Or any ideas what's causing it to attempt to call people?
    I have reinstalled the app, changed my password, and disabled non-contact calling and messaging already.
    Any help would be appreciated as the random calls are really irking my friends. I know it's nit me bumping the button during messaging because that brings up the call screen as normal.

    I too have experienced this. It is downright scary. It happened while I was on another call using the actual phone. The call ended screen came up and the log showed call failed.

  • Skype: Please do NOT notify my contacts with popup...

    As soon as I go online, Skype immediately sends popups to all of my contacts telling them I'm online.  I definitely do now want a bunch of people skyping me first thing in the morning; I have work to do. I didn't request this and Skype lists no options to turn it off. 

    unfortunately, there is no option to disable that feature at the moment.  you can try to login in different status such as do not disturb or away, then just change to online when you are ready to accept chat/calls (just a suggestion).

  • Does Skype ever call customers to perform online m...

    Last night I had a call come in from an account named 'ONLINE HELP - PERFORM SYSTEM MAINTENANCE!'.
    I ignored the call as it seemed dodgy to me.
    Can you please confirm if Skype ever calls customers for this reason??
    Thanks.

    This is a known scamming.
    To avoid receiving any Calls like this, you can adjust your privacy to, Change Allow Calls from... "anyone" to "people on my Contact list only".

  • Skype video call Blackmail

    I know skype cant do much about it. but firstly I'd like to suggest everyone post up all information you can regarding the pursuer so that everyone else can go on skype look them up and block/report them. Their accounts are usually fairly obvious once you have become a victim.
    FIRST PROTECT YOURSELF!
    DO NOT SEND MONEY. DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR THREATS. THIS WILL PROMOTE THEM TO CONTINUE. 
    Delete/block all connections you have with the pursuer. Be it any/All social networks with linked names or information you have posted up publicly. Secondly if you cannot delete these accounts/deacctivate it, change you private settings. 
    CEASE ALL COMMUNICATION with them as soon as you have done this.
    They also recycle photos with different names.
    I have been scammed by Aliacate William, Aliacate19 = Skype user name
    extortion for hundreds of dollars.

    PLEASE search for these scammers and block/report them from everything! It won't do much about what was recorded but you may save others from falling victim.
    Also follow what Skype recommends, EMAIL [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to reinforce the investigations.
    IF you do some how find your video has gone online you should proceed with contacting police about Cyber extortion. They are criminals and not to be taken lightly.
    "Hello,
    If you are being blackmailed you should first contact the Police. Skype will ONLY become involved if requested to do so by them.
    p.s. No duplicates please. Duplicate removed."  - http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Blackmail-scammer/td-p/2853839
    Post up your criminal and help support eachother! This is a cruel world, but we'll find a way to fight back.

    I just had nora.cante76 or something similar trying to add me to skype with the message: "Hi it's me again. Add me!!!!" I blocked the account straightaway.
    Giving into their threats is the worse thing you can do. Now I will need to shut down my current skype account and start up a new one using a different name and email address otherwise this scumbag will continue to harass me.
    I found out via the scam survivors site that Nora Cante or the nomenclature to that affect is a Morrocan guy who goes under the aliases of Mario Dissoza or Marwan Dissoza. You can see his photo here :http://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24583&p=72811
    I did a google and facebook search on him and wasn't able to find his account (probably been shut down) but I was able to find a trace link to a facebook like of photos of a football match or something called Zona Clandestine in El Jadida, Morroco which was one of the places he wanted money to be sent to. He is also associated with Khouribga, Morroco. Very likely this is where he lives.
    A google search of Marwan Dissoza brings up his account on Facebook basic though it isn't actually there when you click on it suggesting his account was deactivated. Most likely by Facebook.
    Other aliases are Anime Idris Kamel and Mouab Khabsi. Most likely one times uses.
    Marwan Dissoza does seem to be closer to his real name as I also found his details on some sort of dating site: http://www.meetme.com/member/77885488
    He also appears to have a google+ account.
    Judging by his name he's a spanish Morrocan. He appears to have good english and IT savvy though he's not that good as he wasn't able to entirely erase his digital footprint.
    Nonetheless this guy is scum of the lowest order and any of his nora cante aliases is to be avoided at all costs.
    My incident started on Chat roulette. I have since stopped using it. My advice to anyone using Chat roulette is to avoid it at all costs. If you feel comfortable using then do not give out your email under any circumstances. If the so-called girl or boy you're chatting says they can't find your skype name its a trap. Just move on. I was so close to clicking 'next' and boy do I wish I had! The fake cam seems so convincing. It never occurred to me that someone could record your skype video call and use that against you.
    I sincerely hope no one else falls victim to this disgusting filth. I think we need to push Skype hard to put out a message to all users on their site to steer clear of all accounts named nora cante.

  • Skype Number, Calling out and in

    Hi Skype Community
    I wan't a Skype Number for my webshop and need to know. If I have a Skype number. Can I call to others? and can my customer call me?

    Hi, MaxXGaming, and welcome to the Community,
    Please remember this: a Skype Number provides a fixed or land line number for people to use to call you, and you answer the call on Skype.  In other words, incoming calls only.
    You will need credit or a subscription to cover the cost of calls you make from Skype to fixed or land lines and mobile numbers.
    Maybe the product names should not have been changed?!
    Skype Number = Skype In
    Calls to fixed lines and mobile numbers = Skype Out - credit or subscription needed.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    My number has been showing up as calling people while in my possession and sometimes off.  How does this happen?  How do I stop it?
    I've tried to contact facebook support and been trying to get on live chat for hours to no avail.  Please help me stop annoying people.

    A month ago I received a spoofed call at 6A - obviously I was not happy. Came from 000-0000000 as I recall.
    Tonight I had two irate people call me minutes apart saying I called them - I was eating dinner with my wife with my phone turned off in our eye-sight.
    I cannot believe that we allow spoofing software and spoof cards these days, with only a crime if someone asks for money or does some similar fraudulent activity.
