strangers asking to be contacts on msn

[melsy]

YOu know when u get a pop up box left hand side of screen , when somone has added you to their contacts. Has anyone had this but with complete unknown people? IM not sure how they get my addy , as Its not posted anywere at all, precisley cos of this reason.

Its just that they seem to be from really sinister named people with very odd blogs and threatening stuff. I know you can tell msn of dogdy blogs and stuff , but its scary thinking they might link it back to me as Ive blcoked them from my contacts.

I'd just bock them and be done with it. There are some strange folk about.

I would assume they are 'bots' or a virus and block.

I got this when I stupidly used potplant as a nickname on a forum. Lots of invitation to join druggy forums and MSN messages. I meant a potted plant your granny has on her window sills but as most of them were american they took a different idea of potplant.
