I just received this message;
"Hello i am barati parinaz a citizen of Canadian/iranian,i am 37 years old woman.I saw your profile and i am very happy to chat and discuss much with you regarding your country.I am planing to re-locate to your country and invest there in future i will need your assistances to be my guardian and direct me upon my arrival to your country."
I thought it sounded a little starnge, especially as the user had their profile blocked so I googled the name and found this;

Indeed, we sometimes get private-message spam, which can be difficult to track, as PMs aren't publicly visible. If you found the profile page blocked, it means that a member of staff took appropriate action!
(The best PM spam I've gotten involved a marriage proposal and an awning-installation sales pitch... in the same message)
