Well one of my contacts have been gg'ed with WLM spam for a while, and it seems like they've gotten smarter.

I haven't seen anyone scream for help about this in the forums...so I thought it might be new and share it.

It sounds pretty dumb to me.

There's been similar bots pretending to be hot girls which then links you to a webcam site.

The lesson is to be careful who you accept to your contacts list.

To be honest, WLM 2011 should make users do captcha puzzles every message.. or at least every minute..

I've just had one of them as well.  Similar messages, I stopped replying after three.

Haha, I just click "Do Not Add" on anyone I don't know.......avoids any kind of spam or anything like that.....it's not that difficult

This one is actually pretty smart.

My friend sent me his version (same friend), and except for the link, everything seems like a normal conversation...

It's like SmarterChildVirus!

Just had it again, it says the exact same messages.
