Skype – SCAM, SPAM
Did you recently receive any mail about Skype in your email?
I think most of you already know all the features that came along with the program you can download it for free from there site - http://www.skype.com/intl/en/home
I have received an email telling me the following:
”Get More Out of Skype - Now Record All Your Calls
Talk to anyone in the world with Skype for free. Experience Skype on a whole new level with new add-ons. ”
Talk to anyone in the world with Skype for free. Experience Skype on a whole new level with new add-ons. ”
See that the quote is saying it is for free to talk to anyone. With the mail I have received an activation code. Here is the link from the mail I have received:
It got me on the spot happy to get the latest version, because I did not at the time have Skype on my computer and I used it a lot.
”The newest version of Skype is the best yet:
- No Cost: Talk to other Skype users for free
- Low Cost: Call landlines for less than a calling card
- Instant messaging & file-sharing, video calls
- Now available on PSP! ”

Why I am writing this article is to warn you about such emails you receive. Skype is free, when you click on the like provided in the mail you see all the good things this program gives you. Yes, that is true; Skype gives you many more than what they are telling you. One thing that you don’t tend to pick up is the spelling, YES, the spelling of that site is so bad that you may think twice about the site - is this really the right site?
Why in the world would a person that work for Skype or are the CEO of the product write so badly on their own site?
When you on the like that are provided with your activation, you see that there are special things that they tent to provide to you so that you want the full package of this program. They also put a time bar / widget on the left with time to manipulate you as a consumer!
When you want to leave before finishing the process, they ask if you really want to leave, when you say yes, a popup screen comes up, telling you that you can get 50% off if you finish now!
Think twice before you get yourself into things that are lies, It happens with Google earth as well - FREE PROGRAMS, they want you to pay for it. Look at your address bar to see if you at the main site of the program you want to download or buy.
