Today I have received two identical private messages from webmaster@fruit-emu.com This is the message that was sent:
***************
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

Is it a private message or an e-mail? If it's a private message then let me have the username and I'll delete them. It sounds like it is a PM because you get an alert from the site when you get a PM and the alert comes from webmaster@fruit-emu.com.

It it's an e-mail then it's just a bot using random 'from' addresses. You can make an e-mail look like it has come from anywhere quite easily. The only way to truly tell is to look at the e-mail header.

I agree, it's easy to fake an email, even so that when you reply, it returns to webmaster etc...

However, where did they get your personal email from, that is the question?

You don't need to it is fairly obvious you cannot PM a banned account. It is easy to jump to wrong conclusions though... :D
