Sometimes some of the details are different, and Ive had 12 of them over that few weeks. More of an annoyance than anything but just letting everyone know in case you want to do something about it. I will email the support guys too.
if you look at the last 12 on my profile its the photo shopped guys that are the spammers (these have all been deleted since I first wrote the post)

Spam is definitely something that we want to control. If anyone comes across any questionable profiles that haven't left comments anywhere, please email a link to their profile to support at instructables dot com for further review. Please refrain from posting links to spam here.

Thanks, i just got another 3 spammers today, I just emailed support and they will delete them pretty quickly.
Once they even gave me a pro membership, for bringing a spammer to their attention.

Yes ... For a 'first' for me here: a 'follower ' 's note was merely spam for his sales program of various vitamins .. VERY annoying to see this happening!
