I got one today..
I replied in all caps with: Don't ever fucking spam me again. You're ip has been logged & I will personally take the time to report to every single sponsor on your site that you are spamming. In addition to this, I will notify ICQ , & your isp that you are a spammer.. I forwarded this spam to http://spamcop.net.. Have a nice fucking day! |

You can set your privacy controls to only allow messages from people on your friends list, that helps knock down the amount of crap.. I really like the ones that pretend to be someone... You answer back and they give you a generic response.
I wonder what the longest conversation anyone has had with a bot on ICQ is? |

That's cuz of the release of a new ICQ spam program being distributed in hack groups. Apparently, it fixed a blocking technique. Pretty sad.... no wonder less and less people are using ICQ.

It's not spam. They even said so. It's valuable services they thought you would be interested in.

I have my preferences and security settings in ICQ set so that no one can put me on their contact list without requesting it first, and I routinely reject such requests unless they give me a reason along with their request. Most people with real business intentions will not "Interested in your content" or something like that in their request.
