AbolishedSalmon
so... if you get an IM from a salmon don't answer it. I got one from "AbolishedSalmon"

it's some kind of bot/virus...maybe just bot... but it some how masks itself over your sn. i got this im


except it wasn't actually the guys screen name. i was showing up as abolishedsalmon to him. AND the first line i was sent was sent to him with my answer, as one.

weird eh?

seems to be happening to others, if you do a google search...and it's not an ichat thing.
at least we figured it out. and at least we didnt end up fighting, because i'm working at UP right now. that could have created a mess. "so i'm getting threatening ims" heh. so glad he ended up being cool and being cool about it. AND i'm glad i had my phone with me so i could take a picture of the screen. good enough proof.

i get to go to sleep in a hour and a half

I Google'ed this and found someone's recount of what happened on their lj:

"Low down: if you are on AIM and you update your eljay, this bot will connect you with someone else who has just done the same, beginning with a bogus message."
