When you receive such messages in the future, all you have to do is report them and delete the message after reporting them. Those accounts will be banned, especially if it is a newbie account (less than 16 or 30 activity)
I receive many of these messages and rarely read them but what I have learned is that there is a pattern in your posts that made them feel like you could be a victim of scam.
If op get such messages, it is better to delete them. and report is required before deletion. However, since the account is brand new and has no activity, this account may not be banned due to the report. But op can stop receiving messages from Newbie to avoid such spamming. he/she can just follow the step bellow
PROFILE =>Personal Message Options => disable, Allow newbies to send you PMs =>change profile That would be a good thing. Because most of the spamming is done through newbie accounts
