Strange Things Occurring..

Something strange has happened; two people who haven't used Skype in over a year or three contacted me sending a strange link with my Skype username attached.

(All blocked out parts with white is to protect privacy)

I haven't clicked on the links, scared of what they may be, but I saw that others had the same issue..

Some others who've been inactive have randomly removed themselves from group chats and lost profile pictures.. 

Does anyone know why I've been receiving links randomly and why people randomly leaving when they don't have access to their account? 

Did someone hack their account? One of the people that has the inactive accounts even confirmed that they didn't send it.

Answer
Answer
Those accounts might have become compromised.

Its best you block and delete those contacts or contact them directly by email to let them know.

Right click the contact in the contacts pane then click Block Contact.

To keep your account safe:

Sign in to your account in the Skype website.
https://secure.skype.com
Scroll down and click Edit profile.
Scroll down to Profile settings and disable the discoverability
Best,
