Is this the end of a wonderful free gift?
 

Skype - it's been a godsend to me, stuck in this #$%#$! place. Just now, while talking to my daughter in London, a John Simmonds called me.

I thought it might be a Simmonds I knew, so answered. The b:mad:d told me my computer had a virus, and they would fix it.

Skype is soooooo good, is there nothing to be done about scum like this?

Just report the call details to Skype and see what happens.

A scammer could phone your land line couldn't they - then what'd you do?

Block the number - report the number to Skype - job done.

Or do you give everything up that you do after one sl.irritating experience?

You can set Skype to accept only calls from contacts you've approved.

Mr Toad. Of course, I did tick the annoying box, but that is no protection from the next change of name, and it's a lot more intrusive than e-spam, since it can intrude loudly into very personal conversation. The issue is again about sh1t-heads spoiling something that is of great benefit to us masses.



I guess that's what I'll have to do. It's a shame really, because I have been leaving it wide open in the hope of hearing from friends from the past. The modern computer world has had me talking to folk from my schooldays - often for the first time since we were nippers.
