Spam - not just for email any more

Well, I suppose it had to happen eventually, but the last few days I've been getting spam on my myspace and skype accounts. Myspace I wouldn't mind, I've been getting the odd mail on and off on that from chicks who really want to talk to me but who don't go on myspace that often, but if I sign up to her webcam we can talk any time I want. Unfortunately though I don't have a webcam, so I can't take these lovely girls up on their offer. Ah well.

Now though, I'm getting spammed by Chinese wholesale companies who are apparently trolling for business any which way they can. I don't mind spam emails, I have filters for that, and I don't really care much about the spam on myspace, as that's what the "report spam" button is for. What pisses me off though is getting added to a 50-person chat on skype where the "chat" starts off "dear friend : we are big trade international company .mainly trade electron goods come from international big company". FUCK OFF! If I wanted cheap-ass Chinese electronic knock-offs that'll break 5 days after you get them, I'd go looking for them!
