Can't Decline or Delete Messenger Contact Request

Question

Not being familiar with BBM, I recently added it to my phone with no security options turned on.  Friday I received a ton of requests (from unknown people) to add mine to their contact lists, which I declined.  They each were removed from my message list when I declined them.  However, one of the messages will not go away.  I have clicked "decline" and have attempted to delete the message, neither of which has had any effect.
I have since blocked incoming PIN messages in my firewall with exceptions of "Contacts" and "Specific Addresses".
Any idea how to get rid of this one message?
Did someone somehow obtain my PIN or were all of the requests I received simply broadcasts that I picked up?

To delete the message from your Messages folder, try this:
Open your Messages folder.  Highlight the date just above the message in question.  Click the menu button, which is the BB button to the left of the trackpad.  Select Delete Prior>Delete.  If the message remains there, remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it a few seconds later.  The message should be gone upon reboot.
As for someone getting your PIN, there is really only way for them to do so and that's for you to give it to them.  If this is not the case, perhaps you're using a secondhand phone in which the previous owner gave his/her PIN to others?  If it's neither of those options, then I'm out of ideas. 
Hopefully we get rid of that message at the very least.
