Kathy...these IMs have driven me nuts lately..just in the past two weeks. I

talked to another community leader on AOL who does stuff for HomeTown and he

told me that they are getting our addresses from web sites we visit. I have

not been on any naughty web sites, just search sites, newspapers, etc.

Hopefully AOL will find a way to block that soon!! I've had several people

come to me lately about those darn Internet AOL Im's....sigh!

Hey kathy,

dont answer at all. and tos it to tos, not that it'd do much good. That is

a good comeback, tho. ROFLOL

IF you ever figure it out let me know, i have the same problem with ICQ. For

some reason they can contact me without asking for approval first and then

thier number hangs around on my list unless i delete it. :-/

I had one recently asking me if I wanted to see Britney Spears chest?!

That is pretty rare though. Usually they come in the form of emails not

IM's. We get a few/day. I keep accusing dh of visiting naughty sites, lol.

Since Sammi and I are always on line he would like to know how he could visit

ANY site!

I'm not kidding, they are getting it from the member profiles! If you

are on AOL, do yourself a favor and delete your member profile.

What they do is this...they search for females in a given area, and IM

those who are online right then. When you look at a list of members (say you

have searched for references to the Grateful Dead, lol), there is a red

triangle next to those who are currently online.

Delete your profile...take care,

, Wonder if just deleting my location would work? Probably not since

alot of the spam mail I receive has C1ndysue, C1ndysue1, C1ndysue12,

etc......lol. I know what you are talking about...that would explain it.

Guess I need to search AOL's AIM to see how folks search there in comparison

to plain ole AOL. After 7 years, I am ready to throw the towel in with AOL.

Just this month we received yet another charge on our visa for something

through AOL we did not order..sigh. I hate deleting my profile.

Someone told me today of a good free email program available that is

" pretty " clean. its something with One in it...the guy was going to email me

the site where I can download it.

I have a friend who used to just type " NCS " and reply only that. I guess

it means " No Cyber-sex " and they know you are *boring* and leave you

alone. I guess you could even type the phrase out in case they are

really stupid?!

Good luck. This seems like an invasion, the people can reach you like

that without your permission! I don't have IMs, so I haven't experienced

this except when I have been at my friend's on line with her, but when I

get spam like this, it makes me sick!
