online help

I have been receiving periodic calls from "online help - perform system maintenance!" Another call I received was from "repair.service.asw.8"

these seem to be scams but I do not have the option to block them or to report it. they seem to have figured out how to bypass. I do not answer them but would like to block them. can anyone advise? thanks

Re: online help

It might help to set your privacy preferences (in Skype Preferences) to allow calls only from your contacts.

There has got to be a better way. Does Skype not prevent this type of abuse of their customers?

Re: online help

Wondering if you could help me out. I have tried to fix a problem and cannot get it right. When I can skype the person cannot hear but I can hear them. I know it is in my setting but I cannot figure it out. Can you help.

Re: online help

Check settings in both Skype's Audio/Video preferences and System Preferences Sound preferences. Be certain, too, that you've selected the correct speakers and that your mic is not muted.
