A few weeks ago, after more than 8 years having not used Skype, I got a random email saying my password was reset. Knowing it wasn't me and now remembering I have a Skype account, I decided to just close the account. To reset my password I had to verify my email address and answer about 15 questions, most of which I didn't know the answer to (but was still able to reset it). It took 45 minutes with support to get the account closed. I realized later that I never got a pre-verification email for the initial reset and was nervous my email might have been compromised, but I really don't think that was the case. I think it was reset through some other method, possibly internal since it bypassed the email verification. I did have a $1.03 balance on my account and my theory is that someone inside Skype is targeting stale accounts with a balance or CCs still on file.
