Hello I am a teenage girl with Asperger's who regularly uses Facebook and msn. This girl has repeatedly and irritatingly sent me this same message saying: (she types my msn address first here) and then at the bottom writes in this "website" and even more at the bottom writes this number: 439962895686. All over again and again. I asked "whats all this about?" then she just sends it again without saying anything else at all. A couple of times and then a nudge. I say "what?" she just sends it again! She used to go to primary school with me.

its spam. Ignore it. Chances are someone got access to her account and now uses it to send annoying messages.

It seems to me, like she's playing mind games, with you.

Sounds like a spam bot. I have had several friends sending me spam and I would block them because I got tired of their screen popping up.

I've been spammed before and it's very painful. I don't know what to do about it except to think that it's the person who does it who has it. The spam might look like it's sitting in my mailbox, but really it's sitting in that person's head.

That has happened to me, it is obviously a link to a malfunctioned website, do not click on it or fill in any details on there because all i know is that you will be hacked and then you will be the one that is sending them.
Tell the other person to change their password.

I also doubt that it's her that's sending the messages. Account hacking is common.

There are some instances where a person really is spamming, but it's ususally for 'fun' websites or quizzes. Anything commercial is usually a hacker.

its more likely a virus on her computer sending you the message - use some other method to get ahold of her and tell her she has a virus and please turn off messenger until its fixed :roll:

Spam bot or a virus... I would just say delete her address or something
