- A message one of my friends broadcasted to me on BBM (purple text):
Blackberry BBM Messages are not sending sometimes. Our Systems has failed to have fixed this problem for some Blackberry Pins. Please Broadcast this to all of your contacts so they know about this technical fault. If you don't Broadcast this message we will reset your Blackberry Services as we might think that you have this Blackberry BBM Message problem. Any more Faults... Call ethier your sim provider or Blackberry Customer Services on 09042562206
Sftbc but the number works. BBM is shutting down at 12:00. 0clock tonight if you don't broadcast this you'll loose your contact. Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of RIM. Blackberry) we have had an over usage of user names on Blackberry Messenger. We are requesting all users to forward this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take it as your account is invalid and it will be deleted within the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or blackberry will no longer recognise your pin. If you wish to re-activate your account after it has been deleted, a charge of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill. We are also aware of the issue involving the pictures updates not showing. We are working diligently at fixing this problem and it will be up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation

- Got one today
thankfully only one,
Once I explain how PIN broadcasting works through the carriers they see that BBM would never be a means to transmit a message to users.07-18-11 07:43 PMLike 0 -

- i get these damn messages often... they are nothing new.. i remember them on hotmail, they are like a modern chain letter. but these blackberry ones are gettin to be too much. it started out that only one or two really gullable friends would send them out and many of my contacts would say its fake, i dont beleive it. and as time went on and the threats of loosing contacts got more severe and started saying it would cost u $$ those same ppl who were "too smart" to fall for that, have started fallin for it. they are so obviously fake so ive been tryin to contact blackberry to get a official denial of the messages. id love them to just release a memo so i could broadcast that to hopefully end the madness07-18-11 11:54 PMLike 0
- Ooh, I'll have to put some Balsamic vinegar on my salad.
I'll have a BBM friend for dinner with a salad with Balsamic vinegar and a fine Chianti. Maybe I'll have some Fava beans too.Blacklatino likes this.07-19-11 12:02 AMLike 1 -

- (Shrugs) It happens. I only see it being sent from the newbies on BBM. I delete it and keep moving. Happens twice, then I'll hit the delete button. I ignore that BS the same as all of the RIM is going under threads.Laura Knotek likes this.07-19-11 12:33 AMLike 1
- I got that exact same msg from a friend today. Told her that's not Jim's last name and it's a spam.

- I need to foreward this message to my new friend in Nigeria.
He's a prince and is having a tough time lately. He even needs my help to get his money out of his country.
It would really be too much if he were to have his BBM account closed too.
After all, what are friends for?

Almost all of the people that have fallen for a internet scam would never have handed a person they didn't know a dime. Silly!

I bought 2 tracts from him yesterday. He promised that once he escaped Nigeria he would buy them back from me at a good profit for me.
I think he has some left if you're interested. Lol

Back on topic:
I've never gotten one of those messages from any of the "crackberry-addicts" that I've known since I joined this site- including numerous cool members(some are now MODs) on here. None have never/ever sent or forwarded any of those described messages to me. Again, not that heavy for me.
Indeed he does. Reasonably priced too.

Actually had a friend ask about this yesterday, saw the text and I don't even think that has changed.
