Andy, thank you for those excellent instructions. I've had an off-list
conversation about these "honey-traps" (or whatever you might call a
sociological spoof, a "social hack") and it is good when we have our wits about
us and are wary to click on email links (and other "loose places" where we
Thanks, fellas.
All the page I got from "Megan" says is:
"The user Megan Ritchie does not exist
Sorry, there is no user with the name Megan Ritchie. Please check your
spelling, or maybe the link you clicked is wrong".
So I guess she was already deleted before I got to even see it?
Thanks
I've had a few of these as well (different names to the ones mentioned).
In the one example that I got to before the user was deleted, the
profile had a link that claimed to be to a porn site.
If anyone sees any of these, the best thing to do is to click the
"report user" button in the user
If user is not existing then its spam profile was likely deleted.
Is this possibility mentioned at page of deleted user?

Thanks

link which seems legitimate, the user does not exist.
Maybe my new friend has to do some edits before coming in to existence for the

Bit of a weird thing to ask about ...
Open up the e-mail this morning & there's an OSM message (which certainly
appears legit?) to say that "this person" has added me as a friend.
That's nice, but it appears to be a real name that I don't know, & when I
go to look at their user page, it says
