I've seen at least one alien message.
It reads, "we've come for your vegetables and beer".
yea let’s talk..but they are not heavenly beings
Nope, I would not assume that aliens of any kind are benign. Build a wall, both a physical border barrier and an electronic separation, that will keep all aliens out until we can be sure that their presence will help us.
Yes. Especially if they just came into a big inheritance and need your help cashing the intergalactic check.

If it reads “I lost 100 quarks using one weird blart,” I’d pass on it.
They are looking in the wrong direction. They look outward and upward to the skies for signs of ETI.
The message is inside our DNA!
Pablo sent me an email offering to mow my lawn for beer. I deleted it. I don’t reply to aliens.
“If We Receive a Message From Aliens”
Just set it to auto-reply: “Hello, we’re unable to take your call right now but please leave a message to include your name, date/time of your call and a number where you can be reached. Thank you so much and have a delightful day.”
Is this a serious study? They want to try to hide our planet from ET’s by not responding to electronic signals?
We have saturated our little corner of the universe with electronic emissions covering the whole known spectrum. Emissions which extend out as far as we can monitor. Millions of miles as evidenced by communications with our space probes.
Our planet must stand out, like a neon sign on a dark night, to any ET interested in electronic emissions. And if they can understand the majority of message so transmitted, they will certainly stay the hell away from this nut house!
Any ET that has the advanced intelligence that we attribute to them would most certainly have developed more advanced method of communication.
Just my humble, uneducated opinion.
Stray television signals won’t do anything. The amount of energy required to get a signal across interstellar distances is cosmic in scale.
Interesting to see so many snarky posts.
Whistling in the dark.
If it says “what are you doing for lunch?” I think it would be prudent to ignore it.

The book is called “The Three-Body Problem” by Cixin Liu. It deals with this very issue and the alien civilization cooks up a weapon to deal with Earth civilization. Very easy read considering that the author is Chinese and presumably is not a native English-speaker.
Everybody has the Star Trek idea of an alien; a guy in a rubber mask with different eyebrows than us. The idea that we’d be able to communicate with mind melds or universal translators is ludicrous. Suppose they don’t have eyes or voices. Suppose they communicate with pheromones or skin color changes. The idea that we could study the language of a species with probably few or maybe zero concepts in common is ludicrous. Suppose they aren’t even born, but instead they form, like crystals. Suppose they never die because their entire life is at the atomic level. What would they want to say to us? We can’t even communicate with whales and dolphins and everything indicates they are potentially as smart as us.
Yeah, by all means keep your eyes peeled for them. But let’s not try any harder to attract attention than we are now. Please.
tl;dr;
Obviously No!
First of all, how would we know for sure it was really from aliens without reading it and extensive analysis?
Second, how can we know to delete it without reading it first? The question presumes a higher authority on the issue of deletion. Higher authorities are to be damned! Especially if they prove their invalidity by directing deletion without reading. Any higher authority which directs such is self-evidently invalid.
May God Damn Higher Authorities!
Does anyone actually think that a message will be written in good, grammatical English, in a Word document?
It will take a lot of time and effort to figure out what the meaning is.
And the human oligarchy stooges have been swallowing the lies and orders--to the UN elite and other world leaders--of the fallen angels/ET's for decades.
