I’ve literally just sat down for a quick Sunday evening email check and discovered that I’ve been Skammed! James Enck coined the term Skam to mean Skype Spam.
Doing a quick search for Skype Spam, I found that it’s not a recently phenomenon - it goes way back. An Engadget article noted users experiencing Skams more than 2 years ago (dated March 2005). It’s strange - I’ve been on Skype for quite a while now and this is the first time it’s happened. Maybe I’ve been lucky up ’til now…
