Skype ignores PayPal siphoning hijack scheme
I use Skype quite a lot to call Thailand etc. and until yesterday thought it was a good service.
We have it linked to our business PayPal account so it ‘auto-recharges’ when the account gets low.
After using Skype yesterday I saw that we were £30 down, so after a WTF I checked the calls list to see our account had been hacked and there were nearly 100 calls to Pakistan. It was then that I found out that Skype is the telephone Company with no telephone number.
I had to enter virtual chat with a retard who told me I wouldn’t be getting my money back. After getting kicked out of the ‘chat’ for using inappropriate language I did a web search and found out that this is a massive problem/scam. The more unlucky ones have had their Skype account hacked & then their password & email changed so they are effectively locked out & can’t stop the calls. There’s a lot of angry people now posting in the Skype forums (yes on the Skype website), and yet Skype still refuse to recognise the problem.
Remember – Skype will NOT give you your money back as they say it’s your fault, so beware.

Skype for iPhone
Had a couple of emails sent in about this.
I’ve been using Fring on the iPhone & it will be interesting to see if the dedicated Skype app will be better. I’m back to Thailand next week so will be testing this out to the full.

PamFax
It’s not very often that we have to send ye olde fax these days, and who wants to have one of those stupid screeching fax machines – not me, and not you, or you’d be some sort of idiot.
No
We would send our faxes using PamFax via Skype ‘cos we’re cool and modern.
