Everyone of these conversations are the same. Some one says something like "Hi Rictor, contact me when you get this message."

Now, I don't recognize the name and I assume it's spam, but I usually contact them anyway just in case it's actually something important.

Then after a few minutes, the next reply I get is, "So what do you think?"

They've just written me about 3 paragraphs of spam that I didn't get because they used urls and urls don't go through on ICQ unless you are in someone's contact list.

You'd think professional spammers would know this.

So at that point, I usually just ask them what they're selling and say no thanks.

Then if they keep talking to me, I get rude or add them to ignore, depending on my mood.
