For the last 2 months, I have been getting strange auth requests via from this person without getting a heads up on who he/she is. This person claims to know me and keeps sending me an auth and some message written in Swedish. I have no idea, but I'm getting to the end of my rope. Has anyone received any similar auth requests as well?
Now while I have not put the Ignore function on this person, I will unless he/she tells me who he/she/whatever really is. That is, the next time this person comes calling.

This sounds *very* corny
I have no idea who said person is, but since he/she claims to know you I suggest you ask him/her some questions... OTOH, you say you haven't gotten a heads-up, which makes me suspicious about his claims.
Your ICQ number is listed in your profile, so perhaps the person is a forum lurker who collects as much personal info as possible.
BTW: ICQ comes with a set of options which provide some protection from these idiots. Look under the Security tab... you'll be surprised by the default settings. I recommend you change them ASAP.

If you haven't translated it all yet I could do it if you post the messages...

Hey, Nimrod ... check your PMs.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
Yeah. Thanks, Nimrod, if I can pull them up from my ICQ, I'll be sure to send them to you.

Hey, Tahna: go ahead and authorize me, eh?
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
Yeah, when I get off work. No ICQ at work

Tahna, I don't know what to say. That was turkish, Deniz is turkish, man. I don't know what he wants with you via ICQ, you've got as much a chance of translating as me, with an online dictionary, perhaps? "Kontak Listeme" is probably contact list, so it seems to be related with ICQ communication issues.
