Just a warning - not all bots or whatnots are obvious at first glance.

I've been friended by this ID twice now: [livejournal.com profile] msensl
The fact that there was a Russian title on the Profile page made me suspicious, even though the rest of the profile seemed like it might be real. The journal entries seem possibly plausible, but odd. They are all friends-locked. However, there is one entry with an image trying to get you to sign up for some program, and linked to some site. The last time I looked, it instead just had one of the posts saying something like "Hi! Please help me out, click *here*".

Is there a place to report something like this? Don't know if it's worth reporting.

Someone gave me that link a few weeks ago.

AWESOME. I just got added by a strange person with a questionable looking blog. This info was just what I needed!
