Yes gets this all the time I am not sure how they pick their victims. I am not even sure how to find a random person on MSN, but they can sure find me. I have never just pmed a stranger, I understand if I am in a chat room, but pms are just odd.

Reasons why I don't use messengers services....oh wait you just summed it up for me XD

But really I hate when that happens, its really creepy. I only use messenger for friends in real life or someone I have known for a long time. I stay away from the chat rooms and such. Weirdos like to hang there. I guess its just as risky on any site, but it seems chat rooms that are "live" are more risky because there are more opportunities there then other places. Who wants to come to a site with 20k people when you can go some place with a ton more? Its be a long time since I used messenger, but can't you just block any messages from anyone who is not on your friends list? I hope so, that would be helpful XD

I don't usually take random people on my msn. if I do, I see if they seem worth keeping there, if not, I will just bluntly block them and delete them :3

Way back when I first started using MSN and ICQ and AIM, though especially ICQ, I'd get ltos of random people talking to me, especially in Arabic or poor english. See, I was living in Saudi Arabia at the time, and the internet had just been legally allowed there, so of coures there were a million and one young arabian guys surfing the ICQ for girl nearby. Having appropriatly clicked off the 'F' in my identifcation, I had a lot of (luckily just lame or silly) hit ons until I finally got fed up and deleted ICQ.

AIM I get random people adding me whenever I join an rp society. Worst was when I joined an adult oriented rp society because.. well... I was looking for something beyond gaia. Afte the bajillionth time having someone AIM me to be their mistress ( I play CHARACTER and STORY oriented rp! NOT self driven PRON) I removed my AIM from there and I don't go back. It was highly dissapointing place... all the idiots of gaia, only legally able to drink and take naked pictures of themselves. BLEH.

MSN I don't have many random peeps adding me... then again someone does try to add me, I write down their e-mail, refuse the invitation, then send them an e-mail asking them who the heck they are. That usually thwarts them... or I find out it's one of my cousins that's chagned his addy AGAIN. >_>

So far I havne't had anything indecent sent to me, though while going through the whole 'AIM Mistress' as my freinds liek to call it phase, I got asekd for my picutre a lot. I am invisible on the internet beyond my avatars... so... NO. :lol:

Yes, and occasionally I get added by random people who never log on when I'm online. Kind of odd.
