Yes, that's what I mean.  Kinda scratching my head.

So they are literally just messaging you with the n-bomb and logging
out, no link or anything?

I might have to get an MSN messenger account to see this.

No these are coming in completely independently, sometimes where the

they sign off directly after they send it (or maybe temporarily
block me)

Sheer shock, probably.  If it shocks you enough to click the link, the
goal is achieved, yes?

I get a fair amount of MSN messenger spam as I'm sure most do.
Usually it's something like this:

(8:55:50 PM) aimeebiwileru () hotmail com: hey i'm Lynn, i thought you
seemed interesting...add me as a friend if you wanna chat ;] http://www.eHomePartner.net/?profile_ID=xoxLynxox

(8:02:52 PM) daniellezygeb () hotmail com:5 Blowout Clearance Sale on
Rolex, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany and Co! http://lampcool.com

But the last couple days I'm getting this:

(12:21:33 PM) aimeebiwileru () hotmail com: n***** (where that is the
"n bomb")

Conversation with beatrizsalafa () hotmail com on 12/7/2009 8:59:52 AM:)
(8:59:52 AM) beatrizsalafa () hotmail com: n*****

Anyone else seeing this?  What's the purpose of that exactly?
