    Does anyone else get random adds on msn from scammers? (active members are fine though [​IMG])

    I think it's the second time someone added me on msn asking to exchange money from e-gold, moneybookers, etc. They just ask straight away and then when I say no, they just log off :)D)

    For those who don't know about it, don't fall for it ;)

    Maybe MSN e-mails should be covered for peons and appear if they have XX amount of links preventing lurkers with 0 posts from getting your contact information?

    oh i've got lots of random adds too lately.

    by order of frequency:

    1) people trying to get me to use their directory submission
    2) people trying to exchange EG to PP
    3) people trying to get me to use their SEO services
    4) people who wants to know what happened to oliver
    5) people who just think im cool.
