RE: How to deal with this spam...
I too have registered just to add further weight and attention to this issue. I only learned yesterday that the block feature has been removed in place of another system on the who can msg you screen consisting of a load of settings and bars you can alter.
I've been getting a very similar bot with almost identical messages at random over the last few days. After switching the settings to it's maximum security i.e. Private only, the bot has still managed to find it's way to message me.
I made the mistake of replying to this bot for the humerous crack of it about a week ago, where usually i'd just block and remove instantly. I think this was a mistake really as it must have triggered it into think i've taken the bait, therefore won't leave me alone.
So as of the moment I cannot see a way around this at all.
