Reporting incidents of attempted scams.

Hello,

We're always grateful to users for reports of attempted scams. Some are well known, some are new and all are reported to Skype for evaluation and action where required.

May we make a request not to include the scammer's full URL or link in your posts?

In the past some users have been tempted to follow the links with predictably unfortunate results.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance in fighting cyber crime.
