PROTECTION ALLERT ® voice call

I am getting a voice call from PROTECTION ALERT ® but have declined. I can find no information about this caller and I am guessing that it is bogus.

If I am correct then I will block the caller. Please let me know if this caller is real (From SKYPE) or bad and should be blocked.
Thanks,
TriviaWolf

Correct, that's a rogue site. Pretty much, any "urgent notification" is fake, whether it seems legitimate or not.

Re: PROTECTION ALERT ® voice call

Skype will *never* perform automated calling like that. It's safe to ignore and block these users. And best to also check the "Report abuse" box in the "Block contact" window.
