I am constantly interrupted with chat requests from spammers, like porn operators. I would like to disable/deny all requests unless they originate from a user whom I have an email history.

Searching through Google Talk help I don't see a discussion of blocking users before the chat request is made.

Is it possible to disable/deny requests unless they originate from a user whom I have an email history? If so, then how do I do it?

Here is the program I am referring to. The window does not have a name, and hovering over it does not provide a tooltip with the name of the program.

Here is an example of unsolicited porn requests. I've never had a contact with Kimberly or Patricia. There is absolutely no reason they should be contacting me:

    Google Talk web app was shutdown some time ago. What web app are you using?

  • Thanks @Rubén. I added a capture of the program I am talking about. I thought it was called Google Talk. I don't know what it is called nowadays. It is docked in the GMail page in the lower left hand corner of the window.

    Related Block or Ignore someone on Hangouts who only sends me group messages (spam)?

  • Thank @Rubén - Yeah, based on the similar question, it probably cannot be done. Another ＋1 for to Google for subjecting us to the spam.
