This year I have been getting spam on Skype, people I don't know asking me to add them to my contacts, and they are invariably from sexy sounding females. I have always had my Skype settings as tight as they allow, with no one apparently able to contact me that are not in my contacts list. I don't even have an email address registered on my Skype account. When I want to add someone I give them my full Skype username.
Today I asked a friend who I don't connect with on Skype to try and find me. I gave him my full name and he looked for me on Skype but couldn't find me.
Anyone else have this (recent) experience? I can't help but suspect that it has something to do with Microsoft's purchase of Skype.
ETA
I have removed my photo from my profile and set my gender to none. See if that stops these "female sounding" scammers
