I got a PM today. The signature is definitely female. I did a WP search and this person has made no posts. My "profile" on this site is unremarkable and blog-less. How would you guys respond?

It's spam that slips through from time to time, they are automated.

She sounds hot, I'd send her money for a plane ticket to visit you Hell, if you're lucky, she'll have some ill gotten diamond money from her corrupt admiral friend, and she needs your bank account to help her get it out of the country. You'll be rich! Rich, I tell you!

I got that message as well. I almost replied, but I had a sneaking suspicion it was a scam of some kind, so I stopped myself.

When I saw the word 'dearest', I got suspicious. Who uses the word dearest these days? :lol:

Spam in your PM? Porn on the forums? Threads trying to flog 'low price' "high-quality" shoes to you?

You need Mod Power!

In a spam/porn/unwanted advertising emergency, call on a WP moderator to right your WP spam/porn/unwanted advertising wrongs.
