Spamvertizing for the Pushpa Publishing House

This page lists spams claiming to be from the "Pushpa Publishing House" received through 8 April 2010. The Pushpa Publishing House appears to be based in India, and publishes what I presume are fifth rate journals in mathematics and natural sciences.

I never heard of them until the spams started coming, and I certainly never signed to to receive anything from them, nor did I have any prior business relationship with them. I therefore believe that spamming is part of the Pushpa Publishing House's current business model.

I will never publish any paper in any Pushpa Publishing House journal, I will never referee any paper for any Pushpa Publishing House journal, and I will avoid citing papers which appear in Pushpa Publishing House journals. (In particular, if you want me to cite your paper, don't publish it in a Pushpa Publishing House journal!)
