== Pornographic IM spambots == [[Spambot|Spam-bots]] often sign on to popular messaging services like [[Kik Messenger|Kik]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tomsguide.com/us/porn-spam-kik,news-18908.html|title=Porn Spam Gets a Kik Out of You|date=2014-06-05|work=Tom's Guide|access-date=2017-08-18|language=en}}</ref> or [[Skype]] to spread [[Pornography|pornographic images]]. Often if the user responds they receive a [[URL]] inviting them to a [[Internet prostitution|private livestream]] that will ask them to enter [[credit card]] details for "age verification". These bots target random usernames; this often results in minors receiving unsolicited pornographic images.
