Unknown contacts (Spammers)

Keeps getting invitations from unknown ppl... probably spammers. I have
blocked "all other users" on the privacy tab already, how come it still
doesn't stop ?

Greetings WF,

That is just to block "all other users" from sending you actual instant messages - which has
been the default setting for almost 10 years.

There is no way to block contact invitations at this time, unfortunately.

That should go to the top of the l;ist of things that need to be fixed
ASAP. I'm about to dump Live Messenger because of this annoying
problem...
