I'm getting a bit of spam on Skype, not too bad yet, but annoying that something as useful as the system is being got at. Today, something odd turned up.

Having talked about OEM software for some time on open forum, and indeed with sellers via the net, I got a call from someone reading as OEM_soft6.

Can this just be an automated system? Can't be coincidence.

Also, what is the point in them doing this?

I had same message, didn't open it and blocked sender for the future.

I always work on the principle of if I don't recognise the name I block it (the same on MSM as well)

I fell out with Skype last year due to some account problems. I switched to voipcheap.com. The software is less flashy but works fine and I've never had any unsolicited contact using them.
