    Why is it that i have around 10 people a month from here add me to MSN and CONSTANTLY try to sell me something. I find it very rude and annoying.... i am now going to remove my msn link from this site now... but i was wondering how many other people have experienced this same problem while being signed up here?

    Thank you for your time, look forward to replies.

    its better not to keep ims, share it with your mates who you know well. i did experience similar issues, got few people to add me and trying to get some things done, but i jus ignore it.

    I get that sometimes, too. Most of the time, they don't even speak English and try to talk to me in their own language. It's really annoying and pathetic.

    Now i have just blocked all of them because i really dont have time to deal with them as everything they are selling is easly found on the web for free or it is something very useless to me.

    Because you're getting popular :p, it's actually common for 1000's posters though.. but the problem isn't too bad for me. You should make your msn only visible to people on your buddy list :)

    I get tons of spam emails everyday, mostly from these type of people. But I never take action though, as I hate spam!

    Used to get a bunch of these too... just remove the stuff from your profile and the IMs magically go away :)
