Good example. Glad you quoted the actual text, since I've deleted the messages.

I consider it spam even though the messages were not identical. They were all essentially the same in meaning: "I made money here, so I know what I'm doing. Buy xxxx stock." The intent was to convey the same underlying message to as many different groups of people as possible. So, definitely "spam" in intent and arguably so by definition.

Actually, the "spam by definition" argument would be very strong since each and every message was boilerplate after the first sentence.

Regards,
