I've had that. Some one-person marketing agency who wants a Wordpress installation, and you have to sign an NDA because they're going to 'revolutionise the industry'.
It drives me up the wall I tell you!!! The worst are the non-tech types who think they're the next Zuck — you sign the silly NDA and their "idea" is always some vague parody of something that's out there. It's like being a character in a sitcom except it's wasting your time.
I think the only solution is to charge a consulting fee to "look at the idea" which scares away the amateurs. After all if you aren't willing to spend $1k for me to evaluate your "idea" then you aren't serious any way.
