    Dont use the word hackers! Such a rubbish word! :mad:

    I get the email about it from time to time and I've been added once or twice over the months.

    Strange things!

    My fella has had two people recently add him, I was talking to one the other night and all she wanted was for us to watch her on webcam on some website which you have to pay for but she could get us in for "free" but it was a secret and we couldn't tell anyone. It was all rather strange, anyway they were deleted.

    I get them in Bebo. 'Hi, I'm hot' but the email addresses they give are all 'Daves' and 'Craigs'.

    She wouldn't talk dirty though, I did try, she was more interested in getting me onto the website!

    Protective of hackers eh?? that's what they are and most
    unethical and only out for themselves in their idea of the
    world wide web, a sick little world wide web they own
    at that.

    Hwoever back to the subject Im not talking about people
    adding you im talking about already existing friends on
    your msn sending you messages to go to websites.

    My guess is they've fallen for the silly auto adds in the
    the first palce and use the same password on everything.

    One of my friends from school sent me a load of stuff about the Wii.

    I don't think it was really her lol.

    My bro's facebook profile sent a message to my bf's saying 'Check out my friend! She's really hot!' and my bf sent one back saying 'Uhm...you do know I'm going out with your sister!'

    Clueless.

    I keep getting people who've got a virus or whatever that I've deleted off MSN sending me messages when I'm offline about diet pills or something.

    Annoying, but eh.

    The bots are stupid as fuck and any dumwit who doesn't
    figure out it's a bot is a bit on the light side.

    It's not the bots I care about, in fact thinking of setting one
    up, it's the messages from friends to go to a certain site.

    My guess is they've been stupid enough to fall for one of the
    bots and it records their username and email address then
    takes advantage by logging into their MSN.

    Yes, I'm starting to get these messages quite often now.

    Oh, and I hate the newest version on MSN. I see no improvements, just more annoying features.

    I don't get these idiots on Google Talk. If someone adds you, you have to give them permission first, otherwise you can't IM each other. If not on your buddy list, then no IM. Makes it more secure.
