OK, this is new and bad. I'm now getting spam calls on Skype. Shouldn't that be impossible?

New I used to get spam messages, but not calls.
Back when I had a working Skype account for work, that is. Although I think I had a missed call from an unknown contact once.

New It was probably such calls that made us get off Skype.
We now use Slack and BlueJeans.

Which is a shame on one level because Skype does adaptive VoIP the best. By far. Both Slack and BlueJeans are okay if the connection is consistent, but any sudden lag and they stumble. Skype never did that. (BlueJeans also likes more bandwidth than is common in Australia, too.)

I do have to wonder why you would keep a live snake in your coat in Saskatoon in December.
