If I never give them my mail address then can anyone send me yahoo messenger add request?

?? It’s all happening to my mails & other accounts in different sites…Now the last problem is-I opened my mail box & found some yahoo messenger requests..But I don’t know them nor I gave my email address to any unknown person.How can it happen? And how can I find out who they are? And I think my whole accounts ( at different sites) are being used since some days…how can that happen? None is there to hack my accounts.So what is happening? …thnx in advanced…

random requests only happen to me on yahoo and i never have that listed anywhere so i think it comes from some yahoo database that some spider bot program scans and finds then sends spam requests

Despite what they tell you, Yahoo sells email addresses left and right. They make more money that way. Any Internet based email accounts should be considered spam accounts for this very reason.

As opposed to those that download onto your hard drive is what I meant. MSN, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. are Internet based. The messages you see are on THEIR server, not downloaded to the local hard drive.
