    I haven't posted my pin anywhere and can't find it in a Google search... so how are people adding me to bbm like crazy? is this happening to anyone else? Is there a way I can block it?

    There are other way to send invitations, like using your BBID...

    Could it be you have a 2nd hand device and the PIN has already been distributed by the previous owner?

    Well, can only give you conspiracy theories based on a fact... One of your app's dev may have leaked his user's PINs (on purpose/by accident) and now you're getting spammed.

    I know devs can actually get yout PIN if the app is coded to get that info. I was plagued with PIN messages I couldn't block back on the 9780.

    Other than this crazy idea, I have no idea what got you into this. :/

    Yes I know it's possible to get the pin from a device I have developed apps before. This would be very unfortunate if it were the case. Guess I'll never know....thanks for your input

    Yeah I am experiencing this for lack of a better word "bull****" for some time here's what I am getting... I'm pretty sure it's due to a app in be world called find friends... It's gone now maybe because I tweeted BlackBerry none stop about it but it was a random pin generator

    If u have u r BlackBerry id as the same as ur regular email address, as long as ur email is with random people or ur friends, they can send a request to u. It is not an error at, it ur regular email id.

    That's the thread i started about this issue 5+ weeks ago.

    The app was called "random friend" and it was pulled out of BB World 1-2 weeks ago. But I have a feeling the people who already have it are still able to use it.
