Oddest IM session. Bot?
August 16th, 2008I just had the oddest IM session with IncensedTrout, via AIM. The converstaion whent like this:
incensedtrout You look ghastly!
me: who is this?
incensedtrout who is this?
me:I asked you first
incensedtrout no you didnt
incensedtrout you know who I am
me:ok, I’m going to ignore what you say for a minute, and then block you unless you tell me who you are
incensedtrout alright
incensedtrout sounds good
*block*
I wonder what information it was going to try to dig out of me, but clearly it was a bot, or at most a very stupid human. Has anyone else had such an odd experience?

I did actually, but it was more explicit. A few weeks ago I had someone do a similar thing, but they started coming up with these odd reasons for why they were contacting me and try were trying to get information from me. It was very strange.
It’s some sort of aim bot that is relaying messages… only if you reply it relays your message from the bot to someone else…
I’ve had this experience also.. in fact.. I’ve gotten multiple random IM’s from people named “somethingTrout”..
Once I actually got into a conversation with one of them I realized, they thought I had im’d them and my name was showing up as spongytrout. Very odd indeed..

[...] Every once in a while I’ll get an instant message via AIM from an elusive SalmonBot. Their names used to be of the form <Adjective>Trout, but now they show up as <Adjective>Coho. SalmonBots act as an intermediary between two unsuspecting people, making each think that the other started the conversation. It will even manipulate the messages before it relays them to the other person. *shrug* They’re just weird. I’ve blogged about them before. [...]
