Is anyone else getting LJ friended by random Russian people?

Are there ads on their profile/journal?

I asked that first because I thought that was generally the point of bots, the ad revenue. Either way, that's probably what it is. So you can go here: http://www.livejournal.com/abuse/bots.bml and hopefully something will be done.

If you read the second bullet point here: http://www.livejournal.com/support/ you can see it's recognized as a known issue.

They seem to have lots of entries and stuff, I haven't really looked at them closely. Oh well. It makes me look more popular than I actually am, so I won't complain :P

This has happened to me three times in the past probably 3-5 months. Each journal has been deleted soon after. I figure spam.

Yeah, it's happened to me several times as well. I figured they were bots. They do tend to get deleted fairly quickly.

It's a peculiar LJ-plague. Best to report them as bots, so they get deleted.
