PM Spam

I just received a private message, quoted below. This exact same message has been appearing in other fora, for example:

It looks like the spammers have figured out a way to sign up for an account and send spam via the forum tools.

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

Same here. I just got one. Without thinking, I actually replied to the PM.:o

[chalinaty]

I got one too...what a waste of time! It was especially annoying since I also got an e-mail telling me I had a PM! And here I thought someone actually wanted to communicate with me.

[ghrocketman]

Got it too...

[Ltvscout]

That user has been deleted and their email address and IP address have been put on the banned list. Sorry folks!

Likewise. I actually responded. I feel like an idiot.

[stantonjtroy]

Ditto.

[tbzep]

I feel so neglected. I didn't get one. :(

I did not respond, yet I feel like and idiot too! I've felt like an idiot for many years now, what's up with that :confused:

I can cc one of "her" messages to you if you'd like. :D

This person was going up through the alphabet of the membership. Looks like we didn't get them stopped till somewhere in the S's or T's. :(

I guess I'll get over it. I'll have to eat a bowl of ice cream or a bunch of chocolate to make me feel better. :D

[pantherjon]

Don't feel bad TB, I didn't get one either!:p

[Commanche3]

I got one to should I feel special :p

I'm either an A or an E and I didn't get one.
I bet the picture scared her off. ;) :D

I almost replied, asking her if she could have that Nigerian dude contact me again. I'm reconsidering his offer to cash the $25M check and split it with him.

I just... never really... expected... that there would... come a day when there would be... Buddha spamming!?!?!?!?! Evidently they have now moved to the next plane up from Viagra on the Nirvanic ladder.

Daniel, what's with all the dramatic pauses? It sounds like you are channeling William Shatner. :cool:

His voice was indeed in my head as I typed. Though my son and I are now on season 4 of The Next Generation, Kirk has become a part of my psyche. Also take note that my brow was raised in a Spockish angle...

[Nuke Rocketeer]

Me either!! :D
