O.P. Weirdo computer tried to add me
i logged onto msn this afternoon and i had a request for an add from someone called "regattaqdxg3489@hotmail.com".  naturally i accepted but it turned out it was a pc trying to get me to go to a site called "http://www.freecamlink.net/kv54".  i blocked the account incase it was a virus.  but does anyone know what this is? coz i have no idea...

It's probably just something that's gathered your MSN address from somewhere and is adding it to try to spam you with advertising.

Having blocked and deleted it you should be okay

I get that every other day...
Her name is always Paris, and she is always just about to start a cam session.
Luckily she knows me for like 5 seconds so I can get in for free...
But I can't tell anyone :(

If it happens again there shouldn't be any problem with accepting it, checking, then blocking and deleting, that's what I do.

Although recently on one of my accounts, I can tell its fake just by the email address, something like FirstnameSurname10@hotmail...
