    Security issue with Skype phone number


    I have a Skype number and suspect a fraud. Clients are lately telling me it is not working - I tried calling from another number myself, but it never rang and then someone else picked up!! could the calls be redirected to someone misusing my Skype account? I called again and my phone rang as usual in the next few attempts

    :)

    Skype Rejects multiple phone numbers

    Do not have a mobile phone. I set up a number with Google Hangouts. It's not accepting it in my Skype. I entered the mobile phone number of my nursing home and it wasn't accepted. I entered the mobile phone number of my wife. Again it was not accepted.

    Skype Rejects multiple phone numbers

    I have no assets, no bank accounts, no credit cards. I'm on Medicaid and none of these things are permitted. I'm severely disabled with poor eyesight. My computer screwed up the keyboard when I tried the restart. By the time I figured it out I had used up all my login trials. I've been trying to do a restore and keep on running into bizarre obstructions. Currently, it seems that Microsoft wants me to be an active skype user. I have no interests in using skype for phone. The restore process requires both a Skype name and a phone number. It doesn't accept my phone number and also does not accept my Skype name. In spite of being an octogenarian and my physical difficulties i'm still doing research and publishing. Unfortunately, all of my work is on the machine i'm trying to restore.
