When it is too good to be true it usually is. So for all the men out there, don’t be stupid. Their goal is to get you undress on cam, record it and afterwards demand money from you, or they will send the videos to your friends and family. They pretend to be a hot woman and fool you by showing recorded cam session of online escorts undressing. They will then look on Skype for your name and add you. They look for married men on Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter and try to get as much as personal information as possible. These days many Skype scammers are operating from Asia, Russia, Marokko and the United States true Skype. When this girl asked me if I was “horny” within 1 minute I knew for sure that this was a scam. This directly ringed the alarm bells for me, since my name is easy to be found online and it’s clear to see that I am a happily married man. Out of nowhere a girl (so it appeared to be) added me and wanted to get to know me better. Last week I was the lucky one to be targeted by a skype scammer. However, when people try to scam you on Skype it is possible to trace them. On a side note please let the idiots over at Skype know how much they suck by tweeting and This is beyond ridiculous not to mention the good old clear IP issue they have had for ages now.Scamming happens everywhere and many times it is very hard to trace the person who is behind it. It sometimes won't show the changes until you log in and out again or won't work on some browsers, give a few a try. (Or if you're using Gmail)Ĭlick Edit again, set the new address as PrimaryĬlick Save, have a laugh at the message, enter the password and click the Enter button or it won't work (like one bug was not enough)ĭelete the old email (as in literally delete what's entered in the email box then save again)

Go to the profile, click Edit and add an email address an attacker won't guess. This is how you can secure your account to prevent it: It's as easy as 6 steps to hijack a Skype account. Do your part and spread the word!īasically this has been around for a while but only been exposed a couple of hours ago. So I'm trying to get this out as much as possible.

I know this is not SC2/gaming related but I'm sure most of you do use Skype and this is a mind-blowing easy exploit that could hijack your account, including your chat history.
