Two complainants alleged that a certain person had sent them greetings. As regards the first complainant, the accused had previously been warned and had promised that, although he was on his personal contact list, he would not receive any further greetings. Nevertheless, the first complainant had again received a message. In the second case, it was established that the complainant had no personal contact/relationship with the accused person and had nevertheless received a greeting message. The complainant's telephone numbers came into the possession of the accused person for another purpose and were also used to send greetings. Authority: Unknown
