Has anyone else, recently, been getting a TON of IMs from various random addresses in the past week or two? It’s really annoying me, basically, it’s an address such as “ziopxmngeotcrwno@live.com” and the message usually has something like this:
Hey William
I would like to chat with you but I this is my friends msn.
You you can send me a msn chat request here sillyval1984@live.com
Hope we can chat
However, the messages are always:
- From different addresses - I’ve so far had about 50 different accounts, all from @live.com or @hotmail.com.
- Very similar messages - the only thing that changes is the address (like you can see above), and some of them have URLs instead.
- The one above is an example - there are several others I’ve been getting such as “this is my work account, can you add my personal account and we can chat?”
I have no idea how to stop them, either, which is bloody annoying.
Any ideas?
It's Not About You by Scouting for Girls
Goto “Tools - Options” then on the left pick “Privacy”, then tick the box “Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages”. Should fix it, at the moment i’m writing a messenger plus script to automatically close those windows as I still want people to be able to message me without adding me -shrug-
That’ll fix it? Cool, thanks for the tip.
I’ve always had that box ticked. It does NOTHING. -__-
These stupid messages are annoying and I keep looking for a way to get rid of them but I can’t find anything. Just keep blocking them!
