In the past week unknown people have been sending me instant messages with links to their pr0n webcam broadcasting. I opened one message but the rest I blocked. What the hell is up with AIM and this spam?
Anyone else getting spam on AIM??

no spam though, thank god.yes, i get hit up with them like two or three times a week... but it's no biggie... i mean, just hit esc key and they dissapear
but so many people use it... my friends all use aim, so i can't just switch to icq or msn messenger or anything
but then.... it becomes a hassle... sometimes people get my sn from others, and they're people i want to talk to too... so it's like... why bother? it's just another time i have to press esc...

i was talking with vanessa over aim and some guy was harassing her with spam..
she got off the web and c all me to tlak to me before going to bed..
needless to say i dint know what she was talking about and i came here to post about it only to see this already here.

i had a rash of it like a year ago, but it's been quiet ever since. you just warn them and then block them.
i refuse to use AOL or AIM... I always used ICQ in the past because it had features far before any other IM client like full IM and Chat logging, with a searchable database of message history... also file transfers and off-line messages (people can send u a message even if you are offline, and you will get it once you sign back on)
however it grew too bloated and crappy once AOL took over ICQ. I've since migrated to MSN messenger (actually Windows Messenger built into XP, I believe there is a slight difference?)
with the addition of MSN Plus! extensions which kills all advertisement and other BS so its lean, clean and mean (being built into the OS helps here). Plus! Extensions also logs all my messages, however I still prefer ICQ's searchable database over msn plus!'s logging to straight text file.
the only thing missing for me now is offline messages... I used ICQ basically instead of email, but now I cant with msn..
anyway.. AOL is Satan.

I think TRillian has a blocker that wont let any person whos not on you buddy list PM you.... I havent got any spam since moving to trillian.
