Did you solicit this person’s services? If not, just tell them you are not interested in doing business with them.

This one has been going around awhile, @Jim580 . Flag the message. (There is a flag icon in the top right corner of the message.)

You say it is a request. Might it be just an enquiry? If it is an enquiry, respond with "I have flagged your message as spam" or whatever you like. @Julie143 's "I'm not interested" will work, too. That will keep your response score from tanking.

But do flag it. Messages like this are annoying timewasters at best and phishing at worst.

Thanks very much!
