Send a message via AIM to PrObLy
When you signed up for AIM you probably became part of the database that allows people to look you up based on interests and crap like, of if not...then aol sold your screen name to the people (like they've been known to do). Luckily, it seemed to just be a Christmas time occurence, I also got about 10 of these IM's but haven't gotten any since Christmas. It also happens on random occasions.
