If the person is not a saved contact: Go to Outlook, select New Items in the upper-left corner, then choose Contacts. In the contact form, enter the phone number you wish to block, a name for the contact, and an email address. The email address can be a dummy email, such as scam&#64;likely.com, but is required to show up later on Skype.

Select Save and close the contact window. After the contact is saved to Outlook, you can block it by doing the following: While in Skype, select Contacts and use the search bar to search for the contact name. Highlight the contact, press the Ctrl key, then tap the trackpad or right-click to display a drop-down menu.
