| 1328497 | 2013-02-17 22:17:00 | Version 6.1.0.129 I have a spam user who sends me these messages probably automated now/then I can only remove the contact but keep getting the messages. Under the menu I am unable to block. It's greyed out. I have the newer Skype which combines Skype with MSN. This user is communicated via MSN. However when I fired up a older version of MSN Messenger their contacts isn't on that. So I cannot use that block either. Any thoughts? :thanks: |

If the person is not in your contact list - Have you tried going into the Tools/options/Privacy Settings and making sure only contacts are allowed - Also under Blocking If the persons Name is there - block, and Under IM settings - Only people in my contact list to send me instant messages. Also check the person is Not in Outlook Contacts - Click Contacts - Untick "Show Outlook Contacts" if its ticked. |

| 1328499 | 2013-02-18 00:32:00 | Weird email address - not in my Outlook. Going to that tools - privacy menu area it is set to only allow messages from those on my contact list. Grey - I mean that when you click onto the user and then conversation menu - block on the list is greyed out. It seems that you can only block Skype users. I've now only managed to hide the conversation. |

| 1328502 | 2013-02-18 10:06:00 | If you have removed the name from Skype, there must be somewhere else skype is in sync with that still has the name. I say this because if you only allow your contacts in skype then you shouldn't be receiving the messages. Try to think of any other programs you may have that sync with skype. Eg: your email, social networks etc. |

| 1328504 | 2013-02-21 03:59:00 | thanks ... that person isn't on my list at all. never added that person to my phone (nokia software), nor in my MSN or Yahoo apps, not social networking don't have those types... i think it is a bot sending messages :confused: cos when you online you get it instantly but if you reply they never reply. and when you go from away to online status. it is one of those virtual partner types ... | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1328505 | 2013-02-25 08:07:00 | Thanks, got a bit sick of it now. I had to email Skype support. I was unable to report the user b/c the block command is not visible. Will now run some malware/spyware checks. A bit off topic. Under tools -> options under privacy, it seems I am unable to unblock MSN users I have noticed, will have to do that with a older version of MSN when I need to. Skype the new version is auto unable to block MSN users, only Skype users. |
