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 profile and report it as spam. The
admins tend to delete them fairly quickly.
If "there is no user with that name" then it means that someone else has
reported the user already and they have already been deleted. I believe
that (or the user renaming their own username) is the only way that a
user can appear as not existing.
Best Regards,
Andy

I have also been added as a friend by user ‘Debra_Devries’ but on
going to the 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 link?
Thanks,

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 that that user doesn't
exist?
Anybody seen this before?
& if it possibly is a scam of some sort (?) who should I report it to?
Thanks
Graeme
