hahahaha, I wish

But I ve seen this kind of message on myspace... at least I could imagine that they really saw me cause it s basicaly a place to show off but here, I have like one retarded picture and it s so far hidden that someone with ZERO post would have never saw it...

ok we ll try this experiment... I ll answer her and I can garantee you that the person is gonna ask for my e-mail adress outside this place... I know cause that s what they tried on myspace and I knew it was for e-mail approved lists that they will sell

I've seen messages floating around asking to purchase myspace accounts with 20k+ friends. Now that's how spammers get things done. The fact that this PM hasn't gone to everyone on the site is intriguing as it suggests an actual human sending the message. The 5 user cap on single outgoing PMs would become exceptionally tiresome for a non-automated process.

I want to know... Who buys their shit... And makes their business minutely profitable... So that I can break them... On the wheel...

But yeh you might just be cute.

asking to purchase myspace accounts with 20k+ friends

that's actually worth something to someone? The first thing I think when i see that is "damn, it'd take hours to delete all those people!"

The one I always see (not on CA, on myspace) is the "my friend saw yr profile and said u r hot..." but I always figure it's for webcams or something

sigh

Well.. you are pretty cute.

But seriously i wish there was some type of system where users could be blocked by the amount of people that give them bad credit or something.

DavePalumbo - yeah, I get the webcams too on myspace

I wonder how much those 20K+ account are worth...

Now the latest stuff I get is on my msn list where people from all around the globe are asking me if I remember them. And then they ask me if I have a mobile phone and want me to call them... I m from canada, I m not gonna call Spain for someone I never heard of

It s the people who actually fall for such scam that I dont understand

Interceptor - well thank you =P


but the "Jen Tyler" account was created 2 hours before I got the message...

99% of the SPAM that CA is getting right now can be traced to one individual, I believe. I banned them a couple of days ago and now I've been getting pm'd threats from them ever since.

Jen Tyler is one of it's aliases. It seems to come back at least once a day.

Aliases that have been banned (same person):
bowflaxman
MKULTRA612
Dissolution
tongue-fu
huffmeister
vengefulmonkey

Probably others.

So, sorry simon. it's just troll spew.

Am I the only one who got this message??

ignore them. period. You all have better things to do anyhow. If he posts some spam, the mods or myself will delete it. I want no more attention called to this. Thanks all!

Back to art and biz and stuff!
