An FYI to everyone regarding possible spam in PM's?

[TopCatGr58]

Hey everybody,

A few folks have sent me PM's regarding some PM's that they have received from a new registered member named EINSTEIN!

Below is a copy of the PM along with my PM to this member regarding this activity.

Greeting
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

Hey there Einstein,

2 members have written to me in PM's about your sending them PM's with a RELIGIOUS message as a signature.

What are your intentions on this site?

This is a motorcycle members site, but this kind of activity is verging on SPAM and will not be acceptable!

IF I receive very many more complaints, then I will have to terminate your membership here!

T.C.

I clicked on the included web link, but it didn't show=dead, tried making the beginning "einstein" but didn't work either, then just replaced "stein" with "www", and all it showed was the Web Hosting server site!?

Yup. I have one from him too. Same exact message.

I sent you a PM about something else too...

It appears to be spam, but it's a non-commercial site. The page is just a collection of links and quotations. Weird.

[vincer]

I recieved the same message yesterday and deleted it because I thought the quote was a bit odd.

[ppv]

got one too .

[mraaaaaaaaaa]

spam ?

Mayb just an Xsesive amount of Quotes

Yup got 1 yesterday also !!!


Sent a reply, & BOX was full

quotations as subscripts

Hi TC,
can a quote from Albert Einstein be a less acceptable tagline than some others that have been posted? "Riding for the Son" springs to mind and nobody's fussing about that. Christian evangelism OK but Buddhist evangelism not? Mind you, neither the Christan nor the Buddhist sent ME a personal message. Am I already saved/on the path to enlightenment or am I not worth saving/setting on the path? Either way I am piqued at being ignored.
BTW, I did look up einstein's membership page, anonymous little beggar, eh?

Hi TC,

I got a PM from him too; Read this first, so have not looked at it.

spam

HI TC
i also recieved the same e-mail. I thought mabe he was a little confused as to where he was.

[Guy_b_g]

Maybe ol' Einstein is posting from the grave (nice he'd want to converse with our particular group, I'll take it as a compliment)....could Elvis be next?

Please note the date I posted this notice. IF you have received any of these PM's after that date, or today's date, Please post here or let me know in a PM! That way I'll know whether further action is needed?

Hey Fredintoon, it's not the tagline itself, but the unsolicited mass PM'ing folks with JUST the "Hi" message, AND the tagline that is being perceived as SPAM!
