MSN Spam Bots
 
Is anyone having issues with random users adding you on MSN then spamming you?

Fafine 03-30-2010 06:57 PM

just dont add you can tell by the email addy

willystyle 03-30-2010 07:13 PM

Yeah, that's what I initially thought, but they've been trying to add me every hour for the past day.

It's getting extremely annoying, and there's no privacy setting within MSN that can combat that.

LUUUUUUUU 03-30-2010 07:57 PM

yup.. been getting a lot of that recently

dub.g 03-30-2010 08:10 PM

holy fuck, just 2 weeks ago i average getting like 6 of those a day for 4 straight days

and those spam bots started back in dec.. now i get at least 1 or 3 every 2 days

icemiko 03-30-2010 08:19 PM

I get it like once a day, I just reject them and press report as spam.

Ikkaku 03-30-2010 08:33 PM

same deal, but it doesn't seem to make a difference, they keep coming back!

Purely 03-30-2010 08:41 PM

yeah I get one almost everyday.. so annoying

underscore 03-30-2010 09:48 PM

I have 5 that I've accepted them just for kicks but none have messaged me anything except one, that tried to lure me to some site by saying "I'm drunk and horny, wanna see my cam?" (but the email address had a dudes name :lol)

twitchyzero 03-30-2010 10:48 PM

it's worse than your friends spamming virus..when they are offline =.=

Big-Lee 03-31-2010 09:36 AM

I get it all the time.. I emailed msn about it and they said they check into it, never got back to me since.

lilaznviper 03-31-2010 02:50 PM

get at least one a day
always keep reporting as spam

Cman333 03-31-2010 02:52 PM

I've been getting 2-3 a day lately.

Annoying. Just keep reporting them as spam.

Eatman 03-31-2010 04:13 PM

Yeah, I get these too.. I think the most I've ever gotten in one day is 4 requests. I really don't think reporting it as spam really doesn anything, because in the end, they still have your email addy, and they'll just randomly generate another account to spam your ass. It's annoying yes, but I've just accepted the spam as part of MSN now hahah.

CP.AR 04-05-2010 05:44 PM

I did this and immediately saw a decrease (from several/day to once a week)

I accepted one of them, and actually talked to it online, it asked me "your male right, 21/F here"

I answered no... I'm female...

and then I proceeded to paste several hundred emoticons, winks, and nudges in an attempt to temporary freeze their MSN.
