Lucia Nightfire Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Its a popular scam that is used on many platforms. You should be able to right click the object name creating the chat/IM to get the owner and mute them and/or the object directly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Better Business Bureau complaint listing is here. No complaints listed. Their Facebook entry indicates they're in the phone spamming business and host fake Microsoft Technical Support scams. You can report this to the FBI. They don't do much with those reports but they do tally the biggest offenders and sometimes go after one of them. Report it to SL support. They may have more info on who the user is. --- 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT Kingsley Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think misrepresenting yourself as Linden Lab staff is about the gravest crime the Lab recognises. Abuse report and support ticket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucia Nightfire Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Blocking by name most likely won't work if its one of those objects that changes its name before every chat/IM. You're going to have to right click the object name and choose a menu option that allows your viewer to mute the owner. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, then you are probably wearing an object that is sending you those messages. You can try a couple of things. One is to open the Worn tab in your inventory and start detaching things until the spamming stops. The other is to open the Recent tab, set the time limits on it back a week or so, and look at each of the new items you have added to inventory in that time. The spammer object is likely to be among them. If you can see that you are wearing it, that clinches it. In any case, either delete the object or (if possible) remove the script.

KT Kingsley Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Depending on which viewer you're using and how you've set it up, you can click on the object's name in its chat header or in Nearby Chat, or Conversations, or Chat History, or mouse over its name and click the little "i" button that shows up. This will open a little dialog telling you who owns it and where it is. If it shows you as the owner, and the map shows it right on top of you wherever you go, then it'll be something you're wearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Kudos to you for NOT responding to its "warning message", at any rate. That would definitely be a Bad Idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
