Hundreds of unwanted bbm requests daily

Can someone please help me,my ex has posted my pin on loads of dirty websites n I'm gettin hundreds of bbm requests daily,iv managed to block pin messages coming through but am not aware how to block any new bbm requests from coming through,is there a way I can keep my existing bbm contacts but not allow any more further requests to come in?? Plz help

Hi rainbo7812 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Unfortunately there is no way to block these requests.  All I can recommend is to block each request as it comes in therefor that person cannot request you again.  As each PIN is specific to each BlackBerry® smartphone, it cannot be changed, however, getting another BlackBerry® smartphone may be another option for you.
Thanks.

  • Hundreds of unwanted BBM Add Requests per day!

    I started getting BBM requests from people I don't know in July, and at one point it was up to 500 a day. 
    I deleted BBM from my phone but I still get the requests, they just go into my Messages folder now.
    They come up in red, and some of them say <$RemoveOnDelivery,SuppressSaveInSentItems>BLACKBERRYMESSENGERINVITESTAGE2
    Has anybody else experienced this? I've tried googling it but haven't found anything.
    Is there any way that I can block my pin from receiving any add requests? It's driving me mad!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. Remove your PIN from any websites you might have posted looking for BBM buddies.
    2. The messages in RED are as a PIN message. Removing BlackBerry Messenger won't remove PIN messages.
    Go to Options > Security > Firewall and enable the firewall to block any PIN messages to your deivce.
    Below that, click "Except messages from Contacts" so that you do not block friends in your contact address book already. You'll see the proper settings when you see that screen.

  • Cannot get rid of BBM request in message list?

    Hi All,
    New to the world of Blackberry and the support forum here. Just got my new Torch 9800 and having an issue with BBM. I received a BBM request from an unknown person named Griff. I figured it was spam and ignored it. It didn't go away so I declined it. Still didn't go away so I tried closing it. Still didnt go away.
    I tried deleting all prior and it deleted everything but this request?  I just cannot seem to get rid of it? Can anyone offer some help or advice? Thanks
    Luc

    Sometimes they "stick."  Remove the battery to reboot the device.

  • We need help with unwanted contact requests

    In the last 2 weeks, I have received 13 unwanted contact requests that I have blocked, which is roughly 2 unwanted contact requests for every Skype message or call I'm interested in receiving. 
    All of my privacy settings are set to "Contacts" and I do not publish my Skype ID on LinkedIn, the only social media site I use.
    What else can I do?

    Hello Gilad,
    Thank you for your contact!
    The script does not work, no error message comes up, I am sure it`s a
    stupid mistake but neither my boss nor I are programmers.
    Please have a look at the form enclosed, the field in question (field
    name "calculated currency value", red border) is on the top right  and
    refers to the field "FX" (field name "FXname 4800") below (blue border)
    Both fields are in number format so I don`t know why this doesn't work,
    what else can it be?
    With kind regards
    Ursula

  • Unwanted Contact Requests (Ongoing history within ...

    Upon reading Primemover's [Power User] ‎25-07-2012 20:39 - edited ‎25-07-2012 20:52 response to "How to Handle Unwanted Contact Requests"
    (reference : http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/How-to-Handle-Unwanted-Contact-Requests/m-p...
    I followed his/her instructions.
    My Skype version (7.0.80.102) screen appeared differently than that which was displayed within Primemover's link. My screen was missing some key options such as "BLOCK" this person.
    My wife suggested I right-click on either the unknown requestor's picture or name to see what options appear.
    Sure enough upon right clicking both the requestor's name and picture came a drop down list of options. Looking quite a way down the list of options, I saw the "BLOCK" option.
    I clicked "BLOCK this contact" for my South african 'fan'. This (apparently) immediately blocked the contact. Followed immediately with a Skype pop-up appearing complete with a 'tick' box asking if I wanted to "Report Abuse" (which I did).
    Immediately the contact disappeared from my list.
    I presume the report went through to Skype and will possibly result in Skype doing their privacy protection duties as Primemover suggested.
    I certainly hope this is effective in reality. Hopefully my approach works for other Skype users who are also afflicted by ongoing introductions and requests from unknown/unwanted individuals or entities.
    I, too, find this process both odd and expect it to be unnecessary. In my opinion this is either an oversight on Skype's programming or a knowingly enabled function within Skype for unknown purposes contrary to what Skype users either expect or choose.
    My wife and I both have set our Skype Security and Privacy settings to only accept incoming requests from people we know in our contacts. Yet we both continue to be harassed by unknown entities or people whose intent is contrary to what we have configured our Skype settings to permit.
    Having read many of the complaints within the extended history of associated concerns suggest this is more than an anomally within Skype. Clearly Skype is aware of this concern for years; Skype chooses to enable/permit it to continue rather than acutually support the privacy and security choices of it's users. Follow the money trail is likely the rational to enabling this affliction rather than ensuring Skype's users' settings actually function reasonably as intended/expected.

    I never ever post on these forums! But this is getting simply ridiculous!
    It used to just be General Napoleon-complex or whoever, and that was once or twice a month; I could live with that. Then it got to be random people at least once or twice a week. Then it built to at least one or two a day.
    Today it was 5, and one of them was pure porn. ACK!!!! Totally not acceptable!!!
    And I am required - note: REQUIRED!!! - to use Skype for work. Just how is one expected to use Skype for work when one is bombarded with useless, senseless requests, some of which are porn?
    And what about our children, who also use Skype? I do believe that subjecting minors to porn is against the law. If you knowingly don't fix the problem and a minor is subjected to porn, that is a FELONY.
    At this point, if you can't fix the problem, the result is going to be that we all start to use something else. Some of those inexpensive little webcams come with nice PRIVATE chat systems on a CD that you can install anywhere. Perhaps we should migrate to those, guaranteeing we only have people in our networks that we know - because they won't have the CD, and won't have our usernames, and someone won't allow them to find us.
    Wake up, smell the coffee, and fix it, before you lose everyone. Or is that the idea?
    Or does anyone from Skype or MS even read these?

  • Unwanted Contact Requests

    Unwanted Contact Request IS THE REASON I AN QUITTTING SKYPE AND
    WILL NO LONGER PAY FOR THE SERVICE

    Dear Readers,
    I, too, have filed various reports via the [email protected] e-mail address and to date have not received a reply - however, nor did I ever expect to.
    Moderator Note: This e-mail address is no longer in service.  Please see this FAQ article for next steps and instruction: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10001/how-do-i-​report-abuse-by-someone-in-skype
    I have it on good authority that all of our reports are reviewed by Skype and action taken as necessary.  I have also reported this and many other threads related to this topic.   You may also file reports with Skype Customer Service directly; here is a link to the instruction on how to do this: contact customer service
    For my two cents, I add absolutely nothing to the profile - country, location, birth date and so on are completely blank/unspecified or for those settings where we are permitted choices, private or contacts only.   
    Please don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player ...
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Unwanted contact request on Samsung note

    Hello everyone,
    Can someone please help me with Skype on samsung note.  I keep getting unwanted contact request.  I don't see deny button or what to do with my skype on samsung.
    thanks.
    Florence

    I'm almost sure that those are scammers/spammers/or phishers.  Unfortunately, those unwanted users are very resourceful individual.  They may have numerous ways to search for valid Skype usernames.
    ignore and block them, and/or report them to [email protected] for misusing/abusing Skype services.

  • Constant unwanted friend requests

    Around 3 months ago I started getting 10-20 unwanted friend requests per day.  I really do not want to cancel my Skype account but I would really like to avoid this constant harassment. Can you advice me on how to do that?
    Kind regards

    Same here, and now my wife's iPad is frozen with a "Forget your password?" message. I've had multiple changes int eh last week. Every time I either need to verify the password or change it. What the heck, Apple? Fix the system! I've had no problems with it untila  month ago and then all of a sudden I've had to verify or change my password more than I have in the last 5 years! Fix it!

  • How to Handle Unwanted Contact Requests

    Unfortunately, there is currently no method to sort or filter incoming contact requests.   I think it would be very difficult for Skype to determine if a certain person is a potential scammer or spammer, unless they receive relevant reports from users who receive suspicious contact requests from them.  Below are some suggested steps on how to deal with unwanted, random, unknown, or suspicious contact requests.
    1.       Take note of the username and display name of the user (please see image sample below)
    2.       Open the Contact request then click the Block Button. 
    3.       The Block This Person window will also appear, you can click the Report Abuse box if you feel that that contact is indeed a highly potential scammer or spammer.  Click the Block button to confirm your action.
    4.       You can also report them to [email protected]
    Then Skype will be notified of the suspicious activities of the reported user/s and will most likely prompt them to check and investigate those users.  Their account might be put under suspension, termination, or prevent them from creating new accounts or using Skype services.
    Note:  Setting your account's privacy settings to allow messages and calls from people in your contact list only will only prevent the ability of non-contacts to call you or send you instant messages.  It will not stop unwanted contact requests from random users.

    I think the problem results from the level of visibility Skype users present. For these random requests to come in, there must be some way of trawling for Skype IDs, which would allow would-be scammers and spammers to make the requests. My wife gets many of them and I get virtually none, so they obviously target women.
    If Skype users could manage their level of visibility to prevent random trawling or browsing, but allow targeted searches, that should reduce the incidence of this problem enormously.
    Another way would be to create an option for a "Contact Token" which could be forwarded to people you allow to make contact requests. They would need to supply the correct token (matching your individual "Contact Token") in order for the request to be submitted. ie. in Privacy Settings, add the followng option:
    "Only accept and display contact requests from users supplying the following Contact Token: _____"
    This may seem overly heavy-handed, but it would suit many people who don't want to be bothered by nuisance contact requests, and if they like spam and scam, they don't have to enable the option!

  • BBM request going to my old phone

    I recently swapped phones with my wife. We did phone wipes, and put our own blackberry ID's on our new phones. However, all BBM requests from friends still go to the old phone, and when I send a BBM request to my wife it comes up on my phone (which is her old phone). My service provider is unable to resolve the issue.

    Are you sending the requests to email addresses or to PINs? Make sure that your friends have your new PIN (not the old one) and make sure that you move your email addresses to the new devices.

  • Unwanted Contact Request?

    i did not see a support forum on the support tab and my search question "why did i get a request from someone i do not know" turned up nothing. can this be posted here?
    i have never had a problem with skype in the past since i have gotten it. i believe it was 2011.
    Alright, so i login to skype to see which of my contacts is online and to hopefully chat with them. Then i notice i have 1 new contact request. I go to look at it and it says "princess_cassisexox111 (Joy Rodgers)". I then ask some of contacts if they knew this contact and they reply "no"
    I then try talking to this contact to see if they know me from somewhere. Here is the conversation. Twinkle is my display name since it was already taken on here.
    Twinkle has shared contact details with Joy Rodgers.
    [8:32:54 PM] Twinkle: who is this?
    [8:33:00 PM] Joy Rodgers: heyy there hun, ya busy? saw u online so i figured i'd send a message and see
    [8:33:16 PM] Joy Rodgers: 27/f here, you?
    -i did not even ask for their age or gender-
    [8:33:17 PM] Twinkle: [8:32:54 PM] Twinkle: who is this?
    -i try a second time to figure out who they are. perhaps a familar username from another site-
    [8:33:32 PM] Joy Rodgers: oh ok so whatcha up 2?
    [8:33:53 PM] Twinkle: Who Is This?
    -i try caps the first letter of each word to try to get this contact to notice the message-
    [8:34:11 PM] Joy Rodgers: ahh well i was just checkin my inbox on Just Hook Up, i got out of a relationship a few months back and im sick of going out and meeting guys at clubs. 
    [8:34:26 PM] Joy Rodgers: my friend told me about it and i was like umm idk about all that lol, but in all honesty i really like it and i've met some really cool people from there too. do u have a profile anywhere or any pics?
    [8:34:47 PM] Twinkle: how did you get this skype name
    -at this point, i ask how you they found out my skype name-
    [8:35:02 PM] Joy Rodgers: i actually just finished uploading some new pics from last weekend if u wanna see?
    [8:35:27 PM] Twinkle: [8:34:47 PM] Twinkle: how did you get this skype name? do i need to caps the message
    [8:35:49 PM] Joy Rodgers: alright here's my profile bit.ly/15Wc4l0 that has my photos there. u might have to sign in to see them like on facebook i'm not sure but u should sign up anyway
    -the link in this message, i suspect to be a spam/harmful link of some sort-
    [8:36:02 PM] Joy Rodgers: it only takes a couple seconds and it's totally free, no credit card or anything stupid like that. plus i can send you a friend request and we can get to know each other better
    -here, im being told to register for a possible dating site, which im not going to do-
    [8:36:13 PM] Twinkle: we are through here
    [8:36:33 PM] Joy Rodgers: Once u do send me ure username so i can send u a friend request 2..
    -at this point, i decided to end the conversation since this contact would not answer my questions and blocked-
    [8:37:18 PM] *** Twinkle blocked Joy Rodgers ***
    how did this contact get a hold of me? could this of been a bot?

    I'm almost sure that those are scammers/spammers/or phishers.  Unfortunately, those unwanted users are very resourceful individual.  They may have numerous ways to search for valid Skype usernames.
    ignore and block them, and/or report them to [email protected] for misusing/abusing Skype services.

  • ICloud sends out hundreds of old meeting request responses

    After I signed up to iCloud, it proceeded to send out hundreds of very old meeting request responses. Some 18 months old.
    How do I stop this and find out why it is happening?

    The same thing happened to me. It has the potential to be embarassing as it sends emails to clients forold meetings.  The emails are also being sent from my apple account emailrather than my work email. Very annoying.
    I have no idea why this is occurringand can only think that it must be a glitch with iCloud?
    The other strange thing is that I had already disabled calendar syncing on the day I began using IOS 5, after the initial sync.

  • I have experienced great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and synced with computer and iTunes and deleted from computer and then synced again but managed to get hundreds more unwanted photos.

    I have had great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and connected to computer and iTunes but cannot find anywhere to click on delete I also deleted photos fro computer and synced again and then found hundreds of more photos on iPad which were unwanted at the same time I lost a film I had purchased from iTunes and   The soundtrack of film from iPod

    Photos that were synced from your computer you should be able to delete by movin/removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (or de-selecting the whole folder if you want to remove the entire album from the iPad).
    Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. They should also appear in Windows Explorer on PC where you can delete them, and in iPhoto on a Mac you can delete them after importing.

    Hi, I am experiencing some freezing issues with my bbm, I deleted all contacts to uninstall my bbm and reinstall it but learned I cannot do this. I have over 1800 pending requests and can only delete one at a time while restarting my bbm between each delete, is there any way to delete all?

    wow! That's a lot of pending requests! Have you fixed this issue yet?

  • How do I delete hundreds of unwanted emails at one time

    How do I delete hundreds of emails at one time with out doing it undividually

    If its a POP account, it most likely cannot be changed... Its just the service you signed up for.  I suggest deleting on your computer, and then on your iPhone, remove the email address.  Then re-add the email and it should only load whats currently on the POP server.
