Skype Spam

[DeletedUser1189]

Ive started to notice a load of random companies and accounts sending spam at me. Offering everything from degree's to discount xmas offers. Is anyone else getting this, and also, does anyone know how to stop it?

I thought you quit your skype account :s


@OP, You can go to your Privacy settings [Skype (in the top left) - Privacy - Privacy Settings] and check that you can only recieve messages, videos and the likes from people on your contacts list. Check out the Help option as well for Privacy issues :s

I've been getting them also, but was getting them before i started playing TW.

You can turn off anonymous messages in the privacy settings.

Try changing your 'Full name' (name that people see you by) in your profile, seems to negate any spam/random companies from offering you bizzare things.
