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!)

(You can tell that the spamvertized journal,
the "Far East Journal of Dynamical Systems",
is not a serious mathematics journal,
because,
according to the website,
it accepts paper submissions in Microsoft Word format.)
