Help: Bad Spanish to English

Spelling errors for sure in these 3 messages.

I don't speak Spanish, but this is what I managed to translate leaving out the errors that I couldn't. I'll post *message* follow by ~what i picked up and then perhaps someone can tell me what they are trying say in Spanish when they should be speaking English... because obviously they don't know it so well... Anyway will appreciate some help here.


1: "Quien eres" ~~ Who are you?

2: "si no das tu nombre te advieeto k boy con la polisia estas adveetido O albertida" ~ if no name noticed with the police these *errors*

3: "los mensages no son coretos" ~ I assume coretos is cortés and mensages is mensajes ~ the messages are not courteous??

Obviously I speak no Spanish but when trying to translate with Babylon I got a lot of spelling errors and broken sentences.

I made bold text for the exact original messages. And my best guess is italicized.

If you don't give your name I'm warning you that I'll go to the police. You have been warned.
