BB Curve :: Spam Bbm Contact Invitation?

My problem is identified because I have the icon on the home page saying I have an unread blackberry message (now 2) however when I go into blackberry messenger I have no new messages or updates. I believe it stems from a request from someone to add me to their contact list. However I do not know this contact. Their name consists of symbols and 2 thumbs up emoticons. The message that comes with the request is entirely in a foreign language of which I cannot understand the symbols. The first thing I did was to ignore the request as it was very suspicious. Since then I deleted the pin from my ignore list. After that was when I noticed the icon on my home page which wouldn't go away. I have tried getting known contacts to blackberry message me, I have sent bb messages. I have phoned out, been phoned, turned my phone off and on again and nothing has cleared it.

Today I received a review of the request ... so I declined. But then it appeared again shortly after so I decided to accept and then shortly proceeded to delete the contact from my contacts and ignore at the same time. Since then I now supposedly have 2 blackberry messages unread... however on opening the application I have no unread chats/messages and no new recent updates.
