Why am I getting emails from Skype in Chinese?

I am a resident of India, and my preferred language of communication is English. Strangely, all the official email (communication/alerts/notifications) that I'm receiving from Skype support is in Chinese (I translate them in google to read them)!
Does this indicate that my Skype account is compromised anyhow? I do not notice any suspicious activity in my account though. Just the fact that all official emails from Skype are in Chinese language
Thanks & Regards,
Suman G.

I had the same thing happen to me today as well. My account was locked between the time I logged off last night and logged back in again this morning. I reset my password and the confirmation e-mail came to me in Chinese. I do not have any stored payment information for Skype, but I checked all the purchase history and everything else on my account. Someone had linked my Skype account to their Microsoft account. I'm assuming that Microsoft account was setup for Chinese and that's where the setting came in from. In my Skype profile, all language settings are English. I've unlinked that Microsoft account, but Skype e-mails are still coming over in Chinese.
Makes me glad I don't have any saved payment information in my Skype account.

  • Why am I getting Emails from Apple in turkish to an Email-address that isn't used for my Apple ID anymore ?

    Hi everybody, I already apologize if this isn't the right community for my problem.This whole thing is very confusing  so I really hope someone can help me
    I used Gmail as my official email account and it was also the Email address for my Apple-ID (for many, many years..)
    Strangely, a few months ago, I got an Email from Apple saying that my Apple-ID was being used for Imessage and Facetime on other devices (in Turkey?). I googled it and found out that it might be a fishing mail so I quickly changed my password and also the Email-adress for my Apple.ID – which means that the Gmail-account was not longer in use for Apple anymore.
    But here's the problem :  I still get Emails from Apple (in Turkish) from time to time to my Gmail- account. They don't seem to be fishing Emails, though.  Another odd thing about that is, that the mails I receive at Gmail don't seem to be addressed to my CORRECT email-address.
    While my adress looks like „[email protected]“ the Itunes mails I receive are addressed to '[email protected]“ .  I hope you know what I mean. There is no point between the names in my real address.
    What could this be and how can I solve this problem ? It's really freaking me out. 
    Thanks,
    D.

  • Why can't I send or get email from an AOL account!

    Good Evening,
     I should say if u could try to keep this simple as I am by no means a computer wiz!. Having said that I have a Verizon account & friend's of mine have AOL but for some reason we can not send email to each other as it keeps coming back.
     My question is why is this? I love Verizon but have never had this with any of the other providers I had. Is there something I need to turn off? & if so what & how?. I'm really lost as to why I can't send nor get email from AOL. If anyone could explain it but in a way I can understand it this would be great!.
     Thank you for your time!
       Will,

  • A website I frequently visit will no longer come up. Safaris says that my connection has been lost but it hasn't. I even get emails from the website but I still can't get on it. Why would it all of a sudden do this?

    A website I frequently visit will no longer come up. Safaris says that my connection has been lost but it hasn't. I even get emails from the website but I still can't get on it. Why would it all of a sudden do this?

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • How to receive emails from skype in english?

    Can you read this? http://skype.m.delivery.net/w/webView?cid=21356219​356&mid=4387626762&pid=28400&vid=13846&ee=a3VycmVu​...
    I cant. And I cannot see anywhere to get it english. 
    This is what skype keeps sending to me.
    Does anyone know why skype desided to send me emails in another language? Whos bright idea was that?
    Where can I undo this and get my emails from skype in english?

    I have the same problem .
    All my settings in Skype are for the english language, but I still cannot find where to inform you of my email notifications from YOU, Skype to be able to recive them in my own language, English. I have tried several months ago and was told to change my settings in my account to English, they where ALLWAYS English, I never changed them.
    Please this could be just a few lines of code that can be added to ones profile that will make Skype better. Thank you for listening!

  • Can't get emails from gmail

    Hi,
    I'm using Exim and Dovecot as email servers.
    Recently, I've got complaints, that the server is not getting emails from Gmail.
    I've made a few tests and found that all emails that coming from Gmail are blocked somewhere.(only from Gmail)
    I must say, that the problem is only to receive email from Gmail, there's no problem sending to Gmail.
    Here's the error code that Gmail returned to the sender:

    I've contacted skype customer support and they said:
    Thank you for contacting Skype Customer Support.
    From your description, I understand that you are requesting information with certain emails that you have received if they are real.
    Let me gather all the information you need.
    Upon checking the e-mail addresses that you have provided, I assure you that these are NOT legit.
    Please avoid any phishing emails and refrain from opening to avoid the compromise of you Skype account.
    Phishing is the process whereby a malicious third party attempts to trick you into providing information that they shouldn't have.
    For instance, someone could send an email pretending to be from Skype and request you to click on a link asking you to sign in and check your account.
    This link directs you to a website that may look like Skype; however, it is controlled by a third party and when you enter your Skype Name and password, the third party may store this information and use it for malicious purposes.
    Hope this info helps

  • Strange email from Skype ??

    Hi! Two times so far that I received a strange email from Skype, in spanish or something!! I'm wondering what this is all about and why the heck spanish? I'm french canadian!
    The email says something like :
    Tu crédito quedará inactivo en 3 días.
    Aparentemente, hace tiempo que no usas tu crédito de Skype. Recuerda que si no lo usas en un periodo de 180 días queda inactivo. Pero no te preocupes porque una vez que quede inactivo puedes reactivarlo cuando estés listo para usarlo. Simplemente inicia sesión en tu cuenta en Internet y sigue los pasos para reactivar el crédito. Detalles de tu cuenta:
    Nombre de usuario: (myusername)
    Saldo: CAD6,86
    Plus, why is it talking about my account not being active and a balance of $6,86 I should have over $16... 
    Not sure what's going on and where to ask...
    Thanks. Pat

  • Why i cannot see email from apple to reset my password?

    why i cannot see email from apple to reset my password?

    We are fellow users, we won't know why. You've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on your email account, and if you have a rescue email address on your account then you've checked that email account as well ? If you still can't find it then try requesting the reset email again
    If re-requesting it doesn't get it either then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.

  • Cannot get email from tiscali account

    Hi,
    I recently changed my password on my tiscali email account. i can get my emails OK on the computer but ever since I have been unable to get emails from this account on my iphone.I have changed the password on the phone, deleted and re-added account, turned phone on and off, in fact everything i can think of but still get the error message 'cannot get mail' the user name or passwordfor tiscali.co.uk is incorrect.
    i have another email account not from tiscali and i can get the emails ok , also can access internet.
    Can anyone help?
    many thanks,
    jane

    I assume that though your signature says you are running 10.4.8 you are actually running Lion or Mountain Lion? If so please amend the signature to prevent confusion.
    Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck Mail in the list there: then re-check it. This should set Mail up again to access the account. If this doesn't work, sign out completely, reboot, then sign back in again. You iCloud data will disappear from your Mac but reappear when you sign back in.

  • I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.1 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.
