Lately, I've been getting spam messages from a couple of people on my AIM list. Since I have 2 SN's, and most people have both of them, those spam messages come to me on both of my SN's at the same time, making me think that they're effecting the users whole buddy list.

They're always random sites that when you click on it, it asks you for your AIM username/password, so if you enter it, I guess it makes your screen name a spambot?
Last one I got:

Hey what's your thoughts on the brand new pics of me here? http://alturl.com/vpjb

Guess that's a fairly smart way for people to get passwords off stupid people.
 
I used to get them from time to time but I have not gotten one since I switched-I doubt one has to do with the other
 
research Project Upstream.. i had some issues and finally figured it out..

i wonder if someone added you to a list..
