Astroturfing Robot Spiders!
Portland
,
United States
Woke up to 30 variations on this in my inbox today:
"As though I wanted will meet personally the author of clauses articles on your site, and personally to it him will get acquainted. But unfortunately I live in other country and I have no an opportunity to go on the world. Success to you the dear expensive friend. "
It looks like the SpamBots have finally found the comment links on Blog entries.
This one was especially fun, as it started out by simply commenting on a dozen different blogs, praising the author's "clauses" and offering ESL advice on how to better the world.
Then it started including helpful links to Porn.
I've put up a simple spam filter that should stop this sort of thing from clogging up the comments in the future. There's an off-chance that some of you may have trouble posting comments if you don't have Javascript enabled on your browser. Keep me posted if you notice anything strange.
Anyway, I've gone ahead and left a few of the more harmless comments to a few people's blogs. So if you're lucky, you might get an inspirational message like this in your comments:
"How many I was in a network the Internet, but your site my loved liked,favourite! Thanks."
Consider it a gift from the (hopefully) short-lived Astroturfing SpamBot!
