skype and scammers

Is it possible while using TMOBILE home internet for a scammer using SKYPE to get my IP Address or personal information?

  • Anything is possible if the person is skilled enough.  How likely it is, depends on how vigilant you are at protecting your personal information, making sure your PC is up to date with the latest security patches and updates, making sure your virus detector and firewall are up to date, and not clicking on things that could potentially comprise all of that.
