ICQ SPAM Driving Me Nuts - GoFuckYourself.com

J. Falcon · 01-03-2009, 07:39 PM

I'm getting about 10 - 15 requests a day from people trying to add me. Of course they all write in some strange characters and shit. Who the fuck are these people? Does this happen to a lot of you?

JamesK · 01-03-2009, 07:43 PM

Make sure to remove the details in your profile (like languages, interests etc). I'm pretty sure that causes most of spam as they can easily find you.

Yeah, some stupid fucking Russian fucktard kidlet is trying to impress his friends with his IM spammer.

crockett · 01-03-2009, 07:44 PM

Yea it's out of control lately some fuck head trying to sell a sms bomber or some BS.. The dumb ass fuck can't even write in English..

J. Falcon · 01-03-2009, 07:44 PM

It won't stop!

Barefootsies · 01-03-2009, 07:47 PM

I have been getting a lot of the same. I used to just add everyone to approve them.

Now I ask them what they want, and who they are beforehand.

Overload · 01-03-2009, 07:50 PM

did ya ever use the "ignore" feature to block
those buggers? works fine for me

Si · 01-03-2009, 07:51 PM

Same as most messengers now days.

mynameisjim · 01-03-2009, 07:52 PM

yeah, I'm getting like 10 requests a day all starting a few days ago. Usually it's one a day at most.

Luckily only 1% are smart enough use an actual nick, the rest just are just from "dkjaoidfj;la" or some other nonesense.

I block and ignore all of them, obviously, but these requests just keep on coming. I just got another one 2 minutes ago.

J. Falcon · 01-03-2009, 08:00 PM

Looks like I'm definitely not the only one.

NY Jester · 01-03-2009, 09:20 PM

yeah its a bit crazy this past week. Ive been getting at least 10 if not 20 a day...BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK

J. Falcon · 01-04-2009, 08:10 PM

Been getting more of this crap all throughout today.

Fat Panda · 01-04-2009, 08:19 PM

that shit has been happening to me....i basically tell them to get fucked

WiredGuy · 01-04-2009, 08:32 PM

Remove all details from your profile, bots are scrapping your content from that.

Barefootsies · 01-04-2009, 08:33 PM

Go invisible.

When I go online, like earlier today, those spam things start going off.

I went back invisible, been that way for more than half the day. Not a single one.

J. Falcon · 01-04-2009, 08:59 PM

Thanks for the tips.

chupachups · 01-04-2009, 09:03 PM

I have the same problem and its fucking annoying. Nowadays I just tell them I know Spacedog and then they fuck off...

that explains my sig

cess · 01-04-2009, 10:04 PM

Never really had that problem, although I've been using miranda-im for years now...

collegeboobies · 01-04-2009, 10:11 PM

I dont get that at all

EthnicLover · 01-05-2009, 12:10 PM

Yeah I've been getting some major spam as well.

Does anyone have an issue with changing their profile? Every time I try and change it I get a message saying:

"The info has not been updated on the ICQ servers. Try again later."

Any ideas why?
