MSN Random Messages
I use MSN Messenger quite frequently. At the moment I am receiving a huge number of messages, apparently from one of my contacts, which are of a silly or ringtone or sexual nature, and I haven't been daft enough to open any of them.
They are being broadcast at least every half hour, and frequently occur when he is not online, has no access to a computer, and his home computer is turned off.
Does anyone have any idea about how this is happening??

All this will do is send their login and password to a scammer. You should NEVER fill out your details on any site like that. The messages will continue until they change their password and the scammers are unable to log in as them.
Advise the contact who is sending them to change their password as soon as possible.

Someone has just used that form. So now I know that their login name is [email protected] and their password is "justchecking" which I hope is fake.
The scammer will now use those details to log in to MSN, probably have a look at your hotmail account if any, and then send messages to your contacts advertising rubbish or probably a link to the same site to gather more account details.
Because it comes from someone you know, you are more likely to fill in your details on the link.
