For the last week I have been getting a lot of messages identical to this:
domlrmfg says:
Hey u should see my live cam!
http://camazon.com/?r=cmz92340&s=register
See you then!
$(RANDCHARS)
The names change, and the address' change as well. I haven't clicked the link, and I can't imagine where my address was retrieved for this stupid place to spam me.
I am doubting it's a virus, but maybe I am wrong. Anyway, does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of these stupid messages? |

| You can't block a specific adress because they will constantly alter their send adresses. The only thing you can do is block all e-mails, except those from a specific list...which is quite a stupid solution. You can't really do anything, you're not the only one who has this problem :/ |

one day a long long time ago, a customer wrote a complaint about me cus i told her not to call another customer a bitch, especially since her child was around. about a month later, i was looking around in my boss' office and i found a folder called "customer complaints." There was an email from the lady with her email adress on there. So that night i went to a few casual porn sites and put her email in the "send me free porn" newsletter boxes.
you got something against free porn? |

| Looks like it's over some IM program. But yes, same thing applies...it's not a virus it's just spam. Can't do anything about it :p |

This sucks.
I am thinking about changing my e-mail address and switching all of my contacts over to the other one.
Does anyone know of a good way to easily transfer an entire contact list over to another account? |

Theresa, do you really want to import all your contacts?
I made a new account and I just added the people I wanted to add. Usually we have like 9 zillion contacts in our messengers that we either don't need, don't want, don't talk to, don't like anymore...
But I think all msn ids get spammed just like most email addies get spammed, nowadays. Just block and ignore. It shouldn't be that big of a deal.
I think everyone gets spam. It's part of doing the messenger/email thing...
isn't it?
