As soon as I set Skype to only accept calls from people on my calling 
list things got a lot quieter.  No more drunk Estonian teenagers at 0400 
in the morning.

Now I keep getting those extended ads from Chinese vendors of nearly 
everything that are addressed to about 4,000 people as a "discussion 
group."  I'm not certain whether leaving the discussion is something 
that gets recorded by a 'bot like in the old days when they'd know if 
you'd erased an e-mail without responding.
