MSN "spim" growing.

So...have you seen the old new MSN spim (Spam for IM) going around? It looks like:
(2008-08-13 09:32:10) albaketapy@hotmail.com: Hey Jerry%20B.%20Altzman .....I cant upload my pics to msn for some reason! Hit me back up on http://xxxxxx.blogspot.com

(I've obfuscated the first part of the blogspot URL, since I don't want to drive traffic there.) Evidently, I'm not the only one who's seen this, and it's not particularly new, but no one seems to have a good solid idea what this is. I've received about a dozen of these, all from Hotmail (MSN) addresses:
$ grep -cri 'Hit me back up' *|grep -v '0$'
