In the current world , overwhelmed with social media we have to come across many of such spam account.This includes sending malicious links,bulk messages or annoying a person they don't personally know.

    For the trolling and insults, you can either ignore them or report the comment and take down the account.
    And for links and bulk messages, there are free Spam Blocker software and apps available on the internet and that's what I know on dealing with that stuff.

    • Create a rule or filter to put unwanted marketing emails from companies you know into a specific folder so they are out of the way.
    • Use the "Spam" button to mark emails from unknown sources as spam. ...
    • Block unwanted senders and email addresses.

    These should help!

    No need of worrying on that you just can report that account or simply block that account.
