I have been receiving a lot of messages on my yahoo messenger, they are links for holiday pictures of people who sent the messages, lose weight, my naughty pictures etc. Most of them are from my friends that I've got on my list [online and offline]. Is there anyone know what caused it? I never click on the links though.
 
If you go to different social networks, they pass (sell) your address on to other sites like the ones you mentioned.

You never even have to visit the sites they come from either.
 
It is spammers just sending thousands of messages. Click messenger top left in the messenger window scroll down click preferences then scroll and click ignore list. In the next window you will see where to add people to your ignore list or you could check ignore anyone not on my friend's list. then click o.k
