Hey all,

Last night, the missus' iPhone started ringing with a FaceTime request. The email address was completely unfamiliar (a Hotmail address) as was the name before the @. Hence, we didn't answer it.

I was wondering, has anyone experience FaceTime Spam?

Yeah, this can happen with iMessage as well. I've sent miessages from my iPad and the first thing the person asks is who it is.

But since the original poster mentioned a totally unfamiliar email address, while it's possible to be still someone known to you it could well have been spam.

Could a jail broken iPhone/iPad have a script set up on it so it sends out spam-loads of imessages and facetime calls?

Oh please lord don't let the spammers catch on to this.
