Luckily i was not robbed so far, but i really can't imagine how can someone sleep well with somebody elses money in their pocket. Hackers and thieves should be punished properly for their actions.

Indeed...hard for someone like you or me to imagine because we have morals.   But many do not.

Time is on our side, yes it is!
Do not fall for these scams when
user posts their skype id.

We have seen situation before when
someone gets scammed.

How the scam works:

Scammer invites victim to a skype
chat, talks about a project, perhaps
a new wallet, etc... Sends them
the "wallet" which is really malware...
which then steals any coins you might have.

I had to post this here because OP locked
the other thread.

Haven't really seen much of this happening but I do appreciate the warning.  Hate when people get robbed for their coins for having a moment of poor judgement.

But who is stupid enough to download a random file from a stranger on the internet? Even though I just said that, I know there are plenty of people that do. Almost deserved to be scammed just for a lesson-learned.

Yes. Due diligent and self responsibility are the keys for security.

When I see things like the heading in the subject line of this thread, alarm bells go off that this is "too good to be true" and must be a scam of some kind.  Even when I can't tell how it's a scam, any person of average intelligence should know it's a scam...

and if you're below average intelligence then you should let an immediate family member control your finances on a daily basis!

Isn't it possible and/or easier to track someone down if you've connected to them by skype?  or can you use a proxy to use skype so no one can trace you?

You gotta be really careful about downloading ANYTHING that has not been tested by trusted people!

I read somewhere that some of the newly launched altcoin wallets are doing this exactly.

Just want to clarify the system requirements for the malware.
 
Let me guess. The malware requires Microsoft Windows in order for it to be able to steal your coins.
I've seen plenty of malware that are .jar

this very scenario a few days ago.

just saying, be very careful when someone here
wants to skype you for any reason!
