Hopefully they're actually sitting behind a router and/or have their windows firewall turned on, which would effectively block that type of 'Messenger' spam.

To the OP: To what service are you referring?

Say it isn't so! I have yet to receive a spam message on this board in my 9+ years here. This must be something new...

On occasion someone will try to create a new membership for the sole purpose of "spamming" other members. Once reported, these members are quickly shut off. In the 10 years, or so, I've been around, it's happened only a couple of times. The limitation on unsolicited IMs seems to keep things pretty-much in check... but there have been a few determined idiots who test the system, and rarely an outbreak occurs. With over a million active members, I surprised the system works as well as it does.

Please report them to me by IM. Just copy/paste each on in its entirety. Spam is an abuse of the IM system and it doesn't belong here. Thanks.

You dont have to wait to get another one.

Go through your IM history and they will be there if you received them.
