Salmon...
"As a heads up:
I would assume any AIM screen name with the name "salmon" in it to be a bot--so far I know "favoredsalmon," and "diningsalmon," and "hygenicsalmon"* to be bots, along with another. Simply be wary of any screen names with "*salmon."
Specifically, it's a relay bot a-la the "GreatHatsby" bot
** ("I say old bean, have you seen my hat?")
a few years back--it links two parties together on AIM, relaying their
messages through the screenname so that the two parties don't actually
know the screen name of the other. It finds screen names by crawling
the profiles of recently-updated LiveJournals." - http://klitaka.livejournal.com/356893.html
Found it a few minutes after being messaged by "DynamicSalmon".
I wonder, who else has been hit by this?
