Skype updated and required a birthday to continue using the program. I, a smartass, put in a fake birthday account with the year ending that same year. (2015 or 2016 I think.) Got locked out for being underage. Contacted both email and a phone call to Skype/Microsoft. To get my account back I would need to fax them my driver's license or other government ID to confirm my age. I asked them how do they know it's the correct ID? It's not like I'm standing in front of a Microsoft employee that can look at me and look at my photo ID and confirm. No, the customer support said just fax an ID and I can unlock my account. Insane.
