Picture this: you answer a call, only to hear silence or a garbled voice, and the number shows up as a random Skype‑generated ID. Those calls are typically automated spam or telemarketing attempts that exploit Skype’s caller‑ID feature. The best defense is to block the number in your phone’s settings and report it to Skype’s abuse portal. Consider adding the ID to a third‑party call‑blocking app and register your line with the national Do‑Not‑Call registry if you’re in the U.S. Never share personal or financial details with an unknown caller, and if a recorded sales pitch starts, hang up immediately. Staying vigilant and using available blocking tools can dramatically reduce these nuisance calls.
