Being harassed with "pay me money" friend requests

Pandamonia·1/23/2015, 9:21:35 AM·19 votes·1,515 views

I recently played a game with someone that kept putting in links to a website where supposedly they "get you out of elo hell" for a certain fee. I have no interest in this so I simply ignored them, but ever since then I've been getting bombarded by friend requests from this person. Is there any way I can block the requests? As soon as I say no they send another and if I leave it alone I'm constantly getting a notification about it. Thank you

Yeah, I was added by someone named "lolacademy" or something like that, they were spamming elo boosting etc.

I got a friend request and I usually accept them, but then threy messaged me something like that and I just removed them. I looked for a report option but couldn't find one, there should definitely be an option to report from messages, both for this and for toxic people adding you to trash talk after games

Report them to support to temporarily get rid of 1 person

I only got one from "LoLacadfollowshi" They kept sending me the messages while I was in game.. I just said "no" to them and removed them. Haven't gotten any friend requests from them since.

I started accepting these types of friend requests, and then immediately right click on their names and select "Block Friend". Removes them from friends list and I no longer get messages from them. Problem solved, sucks that we get them in the first place, but oh well.

Yeah, I've been getting more than a few requests all from Lolacademy, lolschool, or some other crap. Never played with them, never played against them, and I'm getting harassed by friend requests which I'm sure will lead to spam or clickbaits. While I understand the summoner system isn't perfect, this sort of things needs to be shutdown.
