I’m looking at you, Skype. And it’s not a happy look.

Skype has been having some issues this past week or so. My first clue? Receipt of emails hourly letting me know Skype had docked another $25 from my bank account. Again. And, again.
Tech support at Skype isn’t groovy, and my experience included a tech who was overseas, working from a script, unable to process outside that script, and without a solid grasp of the English language.
Paypal wasn’t making it easier
Paypal’s site has also had some hiccups. When I tried to disable Skype from autocharging my Paypal account, it directed me to Paypal. Paypal wasn’t properly serving up the portion of their site that allowed me to disconnect pre-authorized charges. It was all pretty frustrating.
Bigger issues
As I write this, Microsoft has suspended Skype password resets after account-hijacking report.
