Ok in over a year this is the first time I have seen this, I received a message in Local Chat, the copy is in green. How would I receive this? I've taken the 'product name' out I don't want to or appear to be promoting this.

For those of you who did not receive this via offline IM, the SLURL to the offending scripted spammer is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bluepill/231/90/0

Oh, and it's just a simple IM from object to avatar - these just show up as local chat, in green.

I didn't want to give them free publicity either good or bad. It's just that anyone who wants to file an AR - which they _should_ - will not be able to unless they either know the name of the owner, something that would be "naming names" *rolls eyes dramatically* or know the location of the object to report. _____________________

There's no range limit on instant messages sent by script - this wasn't a bot, or it would have ended up appearing in a tab, as a normal IM conversation. It appears as chat but it isn't actually chat. _____________________

I recieved a message like this too today. I made the mistake of clicking on a hotspot yesterday to vote for a place.
