Default Spam in the personal messages?

I think I just got spammed in the pm. It appeared as a pm from someone called John Rank and was something about toyota cars. It was requesting a read receipt. I deleted the message and did not click the box to send a read receipt, does that get it all out of my system?

Hi Shari,
Yes, that gets it out of your system. If possible, when you get messages like that, can you forward it on to me so I can ban the user? If I get it earlier enough, I can actually delete any private messages he's sent before people even open them.

Best Regards,

Deleting it is all you need to do.
