If it originates from an anonymous comment, simply delete the comment and mark it as spam. This will forward it to a queue to be analysed, and an administrator will take steps to block the originating IP.
If the spam originates from another logged-in user, please file an Abuse report [LINK] so that the account-holder can be warned that his or her account has been hijacked, or so that the account may be suspended, if necessary.
