This message was submitted by someone claiming to be Thush Zuniga, using the e-mail address qubesleads@gmail.com.

So, what’s wrong with that, you might ask? Quite a lot, actually:

• The message was submitted as a comment to an unrelated article, which strongly suggests it was part of an automated campaign.
• It’s a generic template that doesn’t reference anything specific, making it obvious that it’s spam.
• It mentions “my services” even though I don’t advertise any services on the Beamtic site. That alone shows a lack of understanding—or even basic effort—on the sender’s part.
• The use of an anonymous gmail address instead of an official company domain raises suspicion and makes it look like a fraud attempt rather than a legitimate business inquiry.
• There is indeed an “ITQUBES (PVT) LTD” company in Sri Lanka, which lists a certain “Thush” also known as “Thushyantha Thirugnanaselvam” on its about page. However, the company provides an official contact address, so any real outreach would come from that domain—not from a random Gmail account.

On the company’s website, only first names are listed, and the name used in this submission doesn’t match what even a quick Google search reveals about the business.

This looks like random spam — but even when a message appears legitimate, there can still be questionable motives behind it. HTML forms are notoriously vulnerable to spam and automated submissions.

It could even be a more malicious attempt to flood a company’s inbox by baiting website owners into replying to mass-submitted messages. For that reason, I’ve adopted a simple policy: I generally don’t respond to unsolicited form-submissions.

Before replying to any form-submitted message, it’s wise to verify that it was sent by a real person and not an automated script. Even better, take a moment to confirm that the information provided is genuine and consistent with public records. A quick background check can help prevent wasted time.

Instead, I quietly mark such messages as spam and move on.
