Submission + - Beware Skype Spam Scarecalls (itworld.com)
itwbennett writes: "Blogger Dan Tynan got a Skype call the other day from 'Online Help' warning him that a virus had infected his PC. Naturally, his next steps were to blog the number, report it, and then start digging. He found more than 100 callers who use the name 'Online Help', dozens of which were obviously spammy. The question is, what is Skype doing about the problem? 'I reported several of these numbers as abusive two days ago,' says Tynan. 'Yet when I search today there are more of them, not less.'"
