aim_spam_cropped I have been receiving quite a bit of IM SPAM lately.  All of this spam is coming by way of AOL Instant Messenger.  I have my AIM username listed on Pownce & Facebook, so I am not sure if it is being harvested from those two sites or if the AIM database is being leaked and bots are picking it up.  In any case, it sure is getting pretty annoying and I wish AOL would shut the accounts down.  Problem is, there are too many of them.

Do you get a lot of IM SPAM?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Cheers!
