I heard from firefly that you were using the linux version of Skype, so check privacy this way.
Click on Blue Skype symbol in lower left of main Skype window.
Click "Options"
Check your Skype Options screen. Privacy settings. Set them to a higher privacy.
"Allow calls from..."
anybody
only people I have allowed << check this
"Allow chats from..."
anybody
only people I have allowed << check this
Then there are three options below those:
Allow my status to be shown on the web. << uncheck this
Allow my contacts to see the number of contacts I have. << uncheck this
Automatically answer incoming calls. << uncheck this
Scammers lie. He might have been able to see how many contacts you had, but he has no list.
Block the user by right-clicking the mouse, and choose last setting, "Block This User."
