Scams and Imposters on MSN Chat

There are people on MSN Chat who are posing as celebrities and running scams
and schemes on people. Once these jerks are exposed for their deception upon
innocent unknowingy people, what can be done to report them? Also, how can a
person find out what the internet provider address is of the person they are
chatting with? It helps to be sure of whom one is talking to.

Thanks you.

Re: Scams and Imposters on MSN Chat

Actually one of the more better features in the new up coming version of WLM
is reporting spam users, which in this instance could also be used for
reporting those 'users' trying to scam folks.
