Private Message spamming

There are a number of users spamming others with thousands of private messages with copy-paste content like:
Hello, I am [put name of spammer here], I am [age of spammer] and I live in [city of spammer]. My msn is [e-mail address of the spammer]. Do you want to [talk/practice Turkish/chat based on the creativity of the spammer].
Spotting these users is no rocket science. I can see accounts that send out maximum number of private messages. Since spammers don't know me or my friends on the site, these canned messages occasionally come to my friends' accounts and it is very disturbing. Many users mark such messages as spam and it helps spotting such cases. Sending out 2000-3000 private messages in a short period after opening "his" account is also a sign Accumulation of signs will result in account cancellation.
This is an obvious abuse of this site and I will be deleting such users after one warning or sometimes without warning if it is too obvious.
