Hello!
Is there anyone else who are victims of spam on msn?

A person that I never heard of write a message and adds a link so some porn-site or something. It's always a female name and an e-mail-adress that make no sense. So far, it happens a few times a week.

I guess it is a spamming bot, but how do I get rid of this spamming? How do I do to get their "spam-bot" to stop sending me messages?

check the box "Only allow people on my allow list can see my status and send me messages"

Yes, I know that way... but I thought that real people should be able to add me.. Is there any other way?

I've heard that you can get rid of spammers by sending them a fake "reply" that tell their e-mail/spamming-thing that my e-mail address doesn't exist, and then they stop.
A little advanced, but it that a possibility?

ummm... i think once they recieve your reply, they know that it does exist....  but i could be wrong....

err... check the option that MeEtc told you. It will not stop people you know from adding you.

I get those as well.
