Someone has hacked my skype account and is contact...

What do I do - anyone know? ann

Hi, Anand33, and welcome to the Community,
Here is a list of steps to take:
Change your Skype account password immediately if you have not already done so.
If you have any saved payment methods in your Skype account, change that account password as well!
Change your e-mail account password.
Ensure all updates and patches are installed on your computer.
Run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recently available virus signature files available. 
I am sure your have notified your contacts of the fraudulent message ...
Kind regards,
Elaine

    Someone has hacked into my account and sending emails (iCloud) pretending to be me.  I've changed my icloud password.  Do i need to do anything else?

    You should consider enabling two-factor verification on your Apple ID, to further protect it. Without doing that, it's entirely possible that a hacker who gains access to your account in the future could take control of your Apple ID away from you entirely.
    You also should consider whether any confidential information might be stored in iCloud. If you have made the mistake of putting a list of passwords in the Notes app, for example, that list should be considered compromised, and all passwords should be changed (and removed from the Notes app).
    If you used the same password as your old iCloud password for other accounts, you need to change the password on all those accounts.
    You should also alert your contacts that your e-mail was compromised, so that they are cautious about trusting any attachments supposedly coming from you. Keep in mind that the spammer can continue to "spoof" your e-mail address on the From line of new e-mail messages, even without access to your e-mail account.

  • SOMEONE HAS HACKED MY REWARDZONE ACCOUNT

    Someone has hacked my rewardzone account.  They changed the phone number on the account, and have used the account to purchase 2 tablets.  Fortunately the credit card used is not one I (knowingly) own.  In fact I just checked a free credit report and don't see the credit card there.  Still this is very disconcerting.  I called BestBuy customer service but they were of little help.  Why would someone do this?!  I only had $5 in rewards in the account.

    Hello menglehart,
    Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for connecting with us.
    I can imagine your surprise and the concern you may have felt when you saw a purchase that you did not make displayed in your My Best Buy™ account.  With the growing concern over identity theft nowadays, it is understandable to cautious.  I looked over your account using the email address you registered with the forum and it would appear to me that everything should be fine.
    As CrystalWoW mentioned, your personal credit card information is separate from your My Best Buy™ account.  Do any family members have access to your account?  The last name for the person that placed the order and the last name on the credit card used match your last name.  The email address that was used and the shipping address appear to be similar as well.
    I would like to go over your My Best Buy™ account with you in greater detail and make sure the information associated with your account is up-to-date, so I will be sending you a private message.  To check your private messages, you will want to login to the forum and click on the little yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page.  I look forward to further speaking with you.
    I hope you have a wonderful day!

  • Someone has bought $60 Skype credit and it wasn't ...

    I wonder if anyone can help me,
    There had been a 60$ charge to my bank account, that doens't not appear on my skype account. Upon loging in to skype, I see the primary email linked is not mine....which seems suspicious.
    I know I did not make the payment myself, as it was done in July when I had returned to the UK. I left the USA in June and did not make any additional skype payments from the UK!
    I explained all of this to my bank and they refunded the charge, now I have been informed they believe the charge was me, because it was done on my card. I am certain it was not.
    How to I obtain proof of this to send to my bank to reclaim the charges?
    Kind regards,
    Richard.

  • I could not remember my apple ID password so I made a request for a new one. When I received the email with the link on resetting my password it was addressed to John Ohare. My name is not John Ohare. Does this mean someone is hacked my iCloud account?

    Hello Corinne Craven,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can update the name on your Apple ID here:
    Appleid.apple.com
    If you suspect unauthorized access to your apple ID I would normally recommend resetting your password, but you have already done this.
    Here is some information about 2 step verification which is another level of security for your account.
    Apple ID: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    Be sure to read all the information in the article if you choose to use two-step verification.
    Take care,
    Sterling
