Spam Over IM Invades Skype

Phil Wolff over at Skype Journal details something I've noticed happening to me a lot lately: to get my attention. I get "friend requests" and "chat messages" from these people. I, of course, block the contact and ignore them.

I've been in the computer industry long enough to know better. These aren't pretty women and men wanting to talk to me. It's a shyster trying to get me to install malware-ladden software on my computer, convince me to pay for pornography, or who knows what else. Whatever it is, I'm not interested.

The simplest way to prevent yourself from being contacted by these people is to not allow IM messages from people not in your contact list. They can try and add me all I want, but I'll ignore them just the same.
