If user is not existing then its spam profile was likely deleted. Is this possibility mentioned at page of deleted user?
If not - can you link it? Maybe it can be improved and mention that deleting user is common reason for spam accounts. In general, in such case I would go to an user profile (if still existing), press report user and as reason put "unexplained friend request, likely spam/scam". It may be a repeat of this private message spam, that was advertising porn sites.
