What should we do with clearly fake questions?

This question about a "new horror steve or bug" is, as far as I can tell, not a real question about a real problem (it could, though extremely unlikely, be a mod that the author forgot about).

There is an identical question (even with the same spelling mistakes), both on queryxchange and questarter, uploaded at exactly the same time by a user with the same name.

It might be an attempt to make a horror story go viral, or something similar (it's the only explaination beyond "trolling" that I can think of).

So in conclusion, what should we do with questions like this, and especially with this one in particular?

  • Should it be deleted as spam, or some other reason?
  • Should it be closed for being off-topic, is it even off-topic?
  • Should it be down voted and then ignored?

What is the correct action to take with a question like this?
