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

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.

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)

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

Annoying. Just keep reporting them as spam.

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.

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.
