Nothing new about this. I've been getting these so-called "spim" messages for a good year or two now. They are quite obnoxious.

Some of them are interesting, though, because they have rudimentary "bot" AI. They carry on a very short conversation with you before sending you to the site. I've had a little fun once in a while chatting with them (when I'm bored and/or drunk, that is)!

This began happening about a year ago...about the same time the Messaging service in Windows (different than the Instant Messenger) started getting nailed with the same stuff.
