Faa Inter-mail Spam Messages

So I am receiving this "hi" messages intermail from people (males) who I do not know. Some of them promping me to check out their art.
Is this spam…or just a way to try to talk to other members such as seeking for FAA to talk to? I find them very annoying, especially the ones saying "look at my art work". Hmmmm….NO.

report them to tech support, we get these all the time, though usually its a russian bride i guess they are specializing now. if they seem low brow, they could probably get in trouble here. luckily i look imposing enough i don't get them worded like that.

I've received a few like that...some were a tad spicy and I reported those to Isabella. Sometimes they just want to get to know you. I'm all for friendly communication...but the minute it gets weird, I have to shut them down. I'm not on here to date. Once I got a message to come check out this guy's work...and it was all nudes. And NONE had a Work Filter on them. I found that strange...and click!...you're blocked.

Mike - you mean no one ever sends you " hey, pretty baby..." messages ? Hmmm... that's odd.

Mostly they want more FB friends .

I sent Mike a "hey pretty baby..." message and he now blocks me. I dont really understand why.

Seriously, this sounds like the diner crowd where I hang out. New waitress comes in everyone is at attention. It gets
old. And it certain does not start anything. The guys dont understand that nineteen year old waitresses are not interested in 60
y/o men. Surprise. Especially after messy divorces.

One guy just dropped coming into the diner when he figured out finally that sort of tipping a waitress did not guarantee him
a date. She literally is 19 y/o. Sheesh!!

I kid the guys that I may be lonely, but I am not desperate. There is a message in there for them. And if I dont say a thing,
well it becomes a competition to see who can harass the waitresses the most. It can get really ugly.

This guy is not talking to that guy, but his friend is talking to the other guy. So we have our friends who overlap with who we
would never talk to in a million years, any more. The most guilty parties when it comes to harassment think I am a killjoy. So
be it, they dont talk to me. They have not figured out that I am happier with that.

Diana, seeing who is really into harassing women, it is always the biggest weirdos among the guys. They bore the crap out of any basic
conversation.

Just a theory, but you have a provocative avatar and no images in your portfolio. Perhaps men are assuming you are here to make friends.

she has images - she has it set to galleries which she has none. so you know diana that's really bad for business. make galleries or for now leave it set to images or it will look like you don't sell anything at all. but the other part i do agree i just didn't want to be the one to say it.
