Well I don't know for sure Ken case, but I don't think the fact that it
shows as offline is sufficient to guarantee this is a spammer. Someone could also be invisible, meaning that he/she can chat or call people but does not appear online. Bye! Barbuz

They were probably set to invisible. That being said, there's been a great
rise over the past few years of strange people adding you so they can try to hook you with a phishing scam, they're often pornographic bots who have a few stock phrases in their vocabulary. They shouldn't be hard to recognize as such, but you can't just accept just anybody anymore and assume they're a friend of a friend, or someone who got your name from this list or that that you're on..

There is nothing stopping you from contacting anyone who is in your contact list, or that you have searched for, even if your status is set to invisible and they would show as offline to you.

Talking still work, though it's pretty much useless, and Clownfish works perfectly. They just wanted people to quit using it, they never bothered to completely disable it.

That's what I was going to suggest. As for the chat bots, unfortunately, they're still around, but not as much as they once were. I quickly pick up on that worn out scheme of them pretending to want to talk and get to know me, only to quickly direct me to some supposed web cam site that they say only wants your credit card info for age verification. I believe that nothing good would come out of entering their sites. They might be infected with malware, they might trick you into agreeing to a recurring subscription that bills if you don't cancel, or they might be out-right collecting card info so they can drain your account by using it elsewhere.

I'm willing to add anyone who sends me an add request, however, my policy is two things.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1. I'll get to know you via text chatitng first before I accept your request. You know, just kind a drill ya a bit, to see if you really are legit. 2. If you send me an add request, but you just use the standard "Hi Twinklesfriend2007." (By the way, that's my Skype name for those who do! wanna add me.) "I'd like to add you on Skype," messages, you'll automatically get denied regardless. The least you can do, is tell me where, if anywhere specifically you know me from. Is it really that hard to edit that message before sending the request? Finally, I do ask people please not to send me a video call request to answer unless you first chat me via text to see if I am presentable. I love doing video chat, but I might not always be where I can appropriately start my webcam. And yes, I always do the same in return. Chris.

I still use skype talking and it's great for me I appreciate the input sugar "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." ~Matt. 6:34-Sugar From: Skypeenglish [mailto:skypeenglish-bounces at lists.tffppodcast.com] On Behalf Of Shawn Klein via Skypeenglish Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2015 3:44 PM To: 'screen readers' access to skype and its interface.' Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] strange event possible spammer Microsoft wants you to think it's defunct, but some functions of Skype Talking still work, though it's pretty much useless, and Clownfish works perfectly. They just wanted people to quit using it, they never bothered to completely disable it. I think Skype kit still works too, people have been using a pirate version of GW Connect for a while now.

I'm not doubting, I am how ever trying to think outside the box. Take care.

I will not accept requests immediately. I will text them first asking to know who that was, and I must know that person prior to adding so. People from this group can feel free to add me. I mostly remember the people names here so I think it won't be a problem adding. If possible, send me a hint telling that you are from skype english. My skype is shooshma
