Ok some how people keep adding me to their MSN messenger list. I have blocked off my username for public access so only those i have given my name to will know it. Is there another directory i am missing or is someone giving out my name (wouldnt be anyone here) but i only have 3 people on the list 1 wouldnt and the other two its been a long time since we spoke
just wish there was a way to trace these people or find out whos giving my name out

Thats MSN for you ........... and its easy enough to get hold of your address if its not been posted anywhere.

cheers

I suspect this is a form of spam. I don't have MSN Messenger but the Buddy Chat gizmo (similar to AIM) comes bundled with AOL. Young ladies of dubious morals (I doubt very much they are actually young or ladies for that matter) keep offering me all sorts of exotic services.*
I've noticed this happening more often in the last few weeks.

*Well, I assume they're dubious as I refuse to answer their calls. This seems to automatically block their address so they can't contact me again.

I have msn... I have no junk mail, no bad or annoying people adding me to their list. Why? Answer: I've never ever made my msn address to the public. It is actually on a small site... but not one that anyone would look on. If u have so little contacts then I suggest you drop your old address and get another... perhaps leave it the same and add an acclamation mark or something so that you can easily remember!
I've no prob with my email address either, again its not public.
If I ever got any though.. bang! all my addresses would change!!!

Lucky you Doug, the best offer I've had today is "You can take me shopping, and then give me a back massage!". Sometimes I think about marriage, other times I just sit in the corner and blub

And don't forget a comment Hagar made in a screenshot post about how he could see the AOL screenname of a certain individual. I never thought anything about it until Hagar pointed it out! So now I'll be careful as to what is displayed in a screenshot before posting it
If you posted a screenshot your "name" might have been easily seen by all who cared!!
