I think this is a kind of batch spam. You may close receiving messages from profile for a moment if you like. Or block this user by adding it into blocked users at: http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&eid_s=&sp_mode=settings&sp_submode=ef | |

I've gotten a couple of those...both from women who supposedly had profiles on ProZ but actually didn't. They both said they saw my picture and the e-mails indicated that they wanted to "hook up."
