Spam Private Messages???

[dhm325]

I received the following Private Message through this forum today. Did anyone else receive a similar message?

"Hello,
I'm new here and just wanted to say "hi"

How's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

I do not want anyone to reply to a spammer, I just want to know what the username of the sender is. The signature says 'einstein' and we have a new member with that username, and that person chooses to remain hidden (but big bother sees all!). I just need to know if it is that person who is sending the PM's.

[fish fodder]

some people got nothing better to do! if they are automated spammers how do they get around the intial verification procedure?

 

[Richgrenfell]

I got that PM as well, from the same user.

Rich

 

[fish fodder]

right people, i think he's working his way through, i just got it from him! it is einstein. do i open it or not?

 

[Richgrenfell]

Probably a waste of time. He just says hi, and there is an einstein quote in there. The same one listed in a previous message above.
