Skype review: fraud or scam 31

these fu#king as#holes took $28.00 out of my account and I have never herd of this company

The same thing happened to me. I know nothing about SKYPE and never used them. I was billed twice. The first time for $12.84 three times on the same day and the second time for $10.00 three times on the same day.
How is it that they are getting away with this and how can we stop it

same thing happen to me! i noticed on my january credit card statement in amount of $75.92 + 2.20 foreign transaction fee from skype.com which ive never heard of before. i had posession of my card. ive called my credit card company immdiately to dispute the charge and i received a letter with computer print out from skype with my name as a card holder and order number, and cvc (?) result being approved.
what the f*&k! im so upset right now i cancelled my card just in case they charge me again. is there any place i could file a complaint to?

I SAY LETS TAKE THEM OVER, TAKE THEM OFF LINE FOR GOOD EBAY GETS AWAY WITH STUFF AND THE LAW DON'T DO NOTHING.

NOW WE SHOULD TAKE THE LAW IN TO OUR HANDS AND KICK THE CRAP OUT OF ALL THE SO CALLED BOTS, NO HUMANS ARE THERE SO WHAT WE HAVE IS BOTS.

ANYONE UP FOR SEEING SKYPE FALL LOL LET ME MAKE A CALL LMAO OH READ MINE TOO YOU ALL.
IM SLANDERED FOR FALSE ACTS OF FRAUD, AFTER SKYPE STEALING MY FUNDS.

AND IT IS AFTER YOU TAKE MONEY THEN CLAIM FRAUD TO EXCUSE YOUR ACTIONS. THAT'S THEFT AND WITH PRINTED DOCUMENTS TOO YOUR SCREWED EBAY AND SKYPE.

ONLY PLACE I KNOW TO FILE COMPLAINT IS BBB, FTC, US DEPT OF COMMERCE.

today i won this case my job with them is completed

I too have a compaint about SKYPE. Skype is online, no one to speak with only email. On April 20th I was billed $59.50 which should not have been billed. I did not authorize this charge. I received their email stating they´d be reversing the charges within 5-7 days yet todate I have not received my refund. Their business tactic leave much to be desired. No simple way of cancelling, no phone access, no true customer support. It´s over 8 business days and the refund has not been received and today I received an email stating Thank you for your order of which I did not place I replied telling them again that I did not authorize anything and was expecting my refund which was over due. I´M KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED !

i went to paypal cause i use them and paid them from it as well umm only deal is ftc... let them know of this as well and contact your bank make a note to them its not your charge and to block all access from skype. i had to do the same at citi bank.

skype can no longer access no account of ours on there as well.

get satisfaction.com look up skype you will get an answer once a day only not a daily online time like we are used to. you also might bring up this list of complaints and post as we did on the get satisfaction.com site so all are aware they are frauding accounts.

This has happened to me too! I've been hit 6 times 2 days in a row! My bank even shut down my debit card and they were still able to steal money from me! I'm not a member either and I have never heard of them! You can't reach the ### and they can just keep hitting you over and over! Anyone know how to stop this? Bank says they can't.

bucky1912 yes there is a way to contact

paypal is one and get satisfaction.com is another, they are on UK Time frame And USA time frame.
Paypal is a way to make a fraud claim you may have to do this by banks help. dispute charges with bank if they refuse tell them you will be contacting the fdica insurance people will do something.

They took my money too...

I have also paid or my skype credit on 7th of nov 2009. I have a PDF invoice from them.
Todate there is no skype credit on my skype account.
I cannot call anyone using skype.
Its so dificult ot contact there customer service and they have not replied any e-mails I have sent them!
Some thing really should be done.
I am going to e-mail my credit card providers and ask them not to authorise any new paymens to skype. I hope this can be done.
However as soon as I can get closure on this matter Iam never going to use skype again and I will just disable it from my computer and uninstall it straight away.
My cellphone number is +[protected] upto 12th december 2009.
Then I will go back to Uganda until may 2010 and my contact in Uganda will be +[protected]

Receive a sexual harassment from Adam Heuskes, Melbourne on skype

fraud@skype.net

use this address to file complaints to Skype

Alright... free sexual harassment from Adam Heuskes

They assigned me a number that was already in use. They will not give me a refund, nor will they give me a new number.

Withdrew $41.00 from my debit card w/o my authorization

ho sar i have one complaint to skype sorry to say sar i like skype & i love skype here a 1 skyper was blackmailling me his skype name is Egor sjus he is black mailing so contact him he is from karkow poland kindly report him iam from pakistan

I got the same email. I do have a Skype account but never gave them any of my bank or credit card information. I would also like to know what is going on?

I also wanted to add that I do not have a GE credit card

I received this message too and do not have a GE card and never gave any credit card info to Skype. What is going on?

Wow, I received the same e-mail, Was afraid to click on it. I have never heard of this company before and do not have a Skype Account. So there is no reason to bill me. Have they charged anyone' s credit card yet or is just a threat.

I received the same email today and also don't have a skype account.

I've never digned up for skype nor have I ever gave them my billing information but this morning (march 31st 2013) I found that I had three pending transactions of $12.75. I live check to check and my kids as lmost didn't have a visit from the "easter bunny" today! But the bank stopped pmt and my money was put back in my account. But now I've got to csncel my card snd be issued a new one. As well as file a dispute with skype.

Skype charged me 3 times for the same transaction. The first time legitimately back in Nov ', 12 then recently they stole two more payments of $36.01 from my credit card in Apr '13. I complained as soon as I saw the second two payments. I was told that the money would be refunded to me in full. I spoke to Skrill also - they are the people who deal with actual financial transactions made via Skype - they told me they money would be refunded onto my credit card.
LIES!
One payment they refunded as Skype credit on my account - so they still have my money and the other payment they refused to repay. I just got the same repeated robot message telling me that they could no longer help with my request. Not only do I fall well within their policy for refunds - but I also did not authorize the payment in the first place, so legally they do not have a leg to stand on.

I am now filing a dispute with my credit card company. It's the only way I can see that I'll get my money back. I think we should get a petition or some kind of legal movement together - there must me a lawyer out there that will be willing to take all of our cases (to take an individual one would be pointless - as the disputed amounts are so small, he/she would not earn any money off it). By taking on thousands of us, the case would go to court, Skype would be exposed and have to pay the money back, and the lawyer would get a decent payout for his.her trouble.

Now, how do we go about doing this?

I have a surface tablet and downloaded Skype from the store. Didn't need it and took it off my menu. I then got a email today that I was charged 39$ for a three month trial. It said if I wished to contest the charge to fill in the PayPal form with my name and card information. Looked like a valid PayPal form, but I know PayPal would not ask me for information they already had. So I went to PayPal and there was no transaction to Skype. I believe Skype is trying to steal CC info.

Agree. Downloaded Skype for free trial. Decided I didn't like it, Skype charged me anyway. I contacted them for a refund, got a "confirmation number". They have since not refunded the money, $13.99, and tried to charge me for the next month anyway.

They are a bunch of disgusting crooks and greedy pigs. Never touch Skype, it's a SCAM.

I have purchased Skype subscription for calling to India on 6th September, 2015 for INR 1210. As the payment has been made subscription has not been delivered.

I had made payment for skype subscription for calling to India for INR 1210 using my Westpac account. The payment has been made but the subscription has not been delivered by skype

I was scammed by a company representative posing as an IT person from HP and when I refused to send him information he hacked in to my account and charge $25.00 x 4 to skype. I have never had or used skype. I have filed a police report and have a private company investigating the messages and phone calls. I would suggest unless you want to be in the middle of this lawsuit that you refund my money immediately and I will not press any charges. I work very hard for what I have and I will not tolerate people stealing from me or my family. I will do whatever it takes to correct this issue.
