F#@!ing Rediculous!

[Swampy]

I've come to the conclusion that anything related to .Net Passports, ie
Windows Messenger and Hotmail are more trouble than they are worth.

They completely suck!
On a daily basis, I am getting 85+ spam emails from obviously the same
spamming w@nker using automatically generated hotmail accounts. But also
what is equally annoying is that obviously this same tw@t, is spamming my
messenger account with requests to be added to his/her contact list.

The is a complete lack of security/privacy with anything Microsoft writes
that has anything to do with the internet!
They simply do not have a clue, or do not appear to give sh!t

There are simply no real privacy options within Messenger, ie no control
over who can or can not attempt to add you to their contact lists.

Hotmail seems to have no control over who signs up to their service, and
seems to have f#'k all interest in stopping people abusing their service by
using it as a spam central!

Apologies for the colourful language, but I am tottally ****ed! And if I
could get my hands on this c#nt I'd take great pleasure in breaking everyone
of his/her fingers, one by one!

This is f'king marvelous, I currently have 227 instances of this c#nt
Britney Spears adding me to their contact list!

That is in one go, they all appeared in the space of about 30 seconds!!

Can Microsoft not close this obviously great gaping exploit URGENTLY!! I
mean it has to be an exploit of hotmail/passport (yes I just recieved over
100 emails from this f'cker too)!!

Group select and highlight all of the emails and group forward them to
with a brief message of explanation.

Yeah, I have been doing this, so far I have fowarded approximately 500
emails in 3 days.

I've also forwarded them to the abuse email address at what appears the be
this pricks ISP, going from the Originating IP in the header that hotmail
attaches.

But still, they are coming in at this very minute!! At a rate of about 10-20
a minute

Just keep forwarding them to abuse@hotmail Also keep in mind and consider
that this person is obviously sick with a mental disorder. No different than
an angry and mentally ill street person yelling at strangers. Believe it or
not I pity someone who is wound up enough to do this sort of thing. Don't
think for a minute that this person is happy or has a good life! Just
another example of our failed health system and ****ed up society.

I have just noticed, that it's some b@stard trawling this board that is
sending all this spam, as I've noted Jonathan's email address has now been
appended to the list.

I'm just watching it all as an observation of desperation by a very sick
person without much of a life to speak of.

I thought the same, see my post on 10/5, I have recently added a spam trap
to my email to see if it makes a difference, it hasn't yet, but at some
point it will....hopefully, unless they get fed up with it first.

In the meantime I think the best thing is probably not to mention any more
about it on here, it will just fuel their 'game' to actually read about what
they are causing, you know the old thing 'ignore them and they'll go away'
:)
