Those calls are hackers that can get your info if you answer. Always Block them and report them like Scot does. If you do answer make sure you change your password right away and call customer service to get control of your account back.
Do not click on any links in skype messages unless you are talking to the person that sent it to you. And I don't mean chatting, Talking on skype hearing their voice.
I have never accepted one of the calls, but I am wondering if it is the same scam that used to call my home phone to try to convince me that Windows 7 was causing problems on my computer.
The type of scam that, if I had continued to take the phone call, would have asked for remote access to my computer, credit card details etc, to basically hack my system and get access to all sorts of personal data.
I am curious to see these Skype calls are from a scam like that.

I get these calls 2 or 3 times a week and I always block them and report them as spam.
