Well ain't that special?

IM spam.

I just got a message from a random userid, raviterdscurry. It claimed "your private friends-only posts have been stolen: " followed by a link to on.nimp.org. Having done a wee bit of research, I'm not amused in the least. This is on a par with putting fire to a bag of crap on someone's front porch.

*mumble* dot on dot nimp dot org will apparently do nasty Javascript stuff that will try to shake your browser window about and make nasty noises emanate from your system. I'll give it a miss.

Another random encounter:

6:18:42 PM bigplateoftacos: the ghost of christmas past
6:27:11 PM Michael Houghton: ok
6:27:31 PM Michael Houghton: you have the advantage of me
6:30:32 PM bigplateoftacos: good
6:37:06 PM Michael Houghton: who would you be?
6:37:32 PM bigplateoftacos: you seem like one who would be friends with greg
6:48:04 PM Michael Houghton: which greg?
6:48:15 PM bigplateoftacos: we sex now
6:48:23 PM Michael Houghton: ah
6:48:27 PM bigplateoftacos: ok...

Can you say "block"? *sigh*

Wow--I never get hit on by random strangers through IM...Hell, I don't get hit on by random strangers in RL :(

I recently had the unenviable pleasure of trying to explain to my wife (who is not Internet-savvy) why she saw people soliciting sex from me via IM while she was using my computer.

Bastards.

I just found your post after googling RaviTerdsCurry after I too just got this message. Your LJ post was the only thing that the search found. Thanks for the heads up!

You're welcome.

I had a similar random conversation with "bigplateoftacos" too. I was wondering who he was. (googled "bigplateoftacos" and got here)

Ditto. He just IMed me a few minutes ago and started going on about sex and links and me wanting an anonymous "piece of ass."

I blocked him.
