Hi guys,

Today I recieved a couple of PM from a member called Jeannette. This is what she wrote on both messages:



Hi,
I'm new here, 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 don't have anything against buddhism but... why send a message like that? twice? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Has this happened to any of you?

It didn't happen to me Ikki. How about the others?

Maybe she just chose your name randomly or maybe she thought that you're Chinese. Anyway, I don't think I would consider 2 messages as spamming. Getting a lot of emails on viagra, which I get regularly, is what you call spamming. :)

I recieved a PM today from the same person with exactly the same text as mentioned above by Ikki. Guess it is Buddha in disguise trying to spread buddhism :D

I too receive the same message from Jeannette. And I've to agree that it is little spammy message because it neither says Welcome nor about Businessadviceforum but about Buddhism which I guess is little offtopic.
