Question

So if something shows up in my LJ in the Messages area and it's in a foreign language, should I automatically consider it spam? I'm used to this happening in comments on occasion, but I've never received a private message like this before.

What say you, hive-mind?

I usually assume spam. Occasionally I'll get a Russian one, and rarely I'll copy a line or two of it into an free online translator. I'll get something like "High-quality drapes and curtains" and I'll know my instincts were right!

I think I'm going to try your approach with the online translator and see what happens ...
