Spam reference? What to do?

Hi, Madison Peeps, I just received this spam reference--obviously I never heard of this person. Is there a way to remove it from my profile? I sent a note the the Safety/Security link, but not sure if that is the solution. Anyone else getting these? This is it: From precy Roland Dakar, Senegal Nov 12 Met in person Positive hello dear, my name is miss precy pls contact me at my email (precyroland at outlook dot com) is very important see you! Thanks much and hope everyone is keeping warm! Mona

i think that's the only way. if it was a forum post you could report it directly, but to remove a reference sending the email to the safety team is the only way as far as I can tell.

Thanks, Peter. I did not have high hopes, but they removed it and the person's profile and sent me an email, all within about 15 minutes! Impressive response!
