If you are using wordpress http://akismet.com/ is brilliant. for the spam issues

For fake profile issue, use a email click to activate link. and maybe a recapture image on sign up as well.

I went back and forth on the 'click to activate' thing and my reasoning was if they can't be bothered to even click a link to activate their account , how active will they actually be.

I agree with bothead. If u have to pick just 1, then go with email verification.
