Skype comes along with various privacy and security options in order to keep you safe and prevent strangers from disturbing you. If you are annoyed by the unwanted Skype callers and want to get rid of them, you can block those callers from your Skype account.
In order to block any Skype user from your account, you don't have to add them to your contact list. With the default Skype configuration, any person can initiate a voice or video call with you, and you can block anyone without even adding them, as well.
Note: Even though any person who is not in your Skype contact list can initiate a voice or video call with you, it is solely your decision to accept or decline the call. Also, you can change Skype’s default settings and configure the application to allow only people from your contact list to call or message you on Skype.
Here is how you can block unwanted callers from your Skype account:
10. From the displayed contact names, select the one you want to block.
11. Once done, click the Block this person button.
12. On the opened pop up box, check the checkbox representing Remove from your Contact list. Optionally, you can also check the checkbox representing Report abuse if required.
13. Click the Block button at the bottom in order to block the selected person.
14. Finally, click the Save button to save the changes.
