Thanks a lot for that, it works.
There's a slight modification I needed to do as the table name is fud30_users in my case.
For anyone else interested, you can automate this via crontab, just add a new job like this:
*/30 * * * * mysql -uDATABASEUSER -pPASSWORD DATABASENAME -e "DELETE FROM fud30_users WHERE posted_msg_count = 0 AND LOWER(home_page) LIKE 'http%';"


The above command will run every 30 minutes, deleting users with a homepage set and no messages; most likely profile spammers.
This may prove useful in the future as many profile spammers are actually human beings so captchas won't work.
