Sometimes there wasn't even the meaningless sentence, just a link. They all seemed to originate in southeast Asia, e.g., Malaysia or Indonesia. I never clicked on the links, of course. I have days when I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even barely awake and non-caffeinated I'm not stupid enough to click on links in spam.
There was another one of those spam comments this morning. Same post. You'd think that after a couple years passed the spammers would latch on to a different URL to target, a more recent post, but apparently not.
I had a spam post this morning in my blog comments. From south east Asia.
ReplyDeleteI just clicked the SPAM setting under the comment and sent it off to wherever that link takes it.

It would seem you spammer(s) have a few dull blades as well. Repetitively dull, at that.
ReplyDeleteBack in the early days of Blog Spam, it seemed they all went something like this, " What you are saying is very important to me. Please let me know what to do now that we are friends. Thank you for you time", then a link to East Gish Vietnam or Backsplash, Pakistan. Now I use the spam filter on the blog settings and every year or so, go in and check them out. Seems now, most of the Spam I get is written in Cyrillic.
ReplyDeleteThe Spam filter catches most, but every so often something slides through.
DeleteI got one recently telling me about escorts in Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteJono, I get the same thing. I reported them. It's a blog. Get the URL and then report it to blogger. If blogger gets enough complaints they will shut them down. I reported them for sex trafficking. It's a call girl site.
ReplyDeleteSpam hits my blogs that are usually several years old, usually from SE Asia too, and repeatedly the same blogs. I just ignore them until they build up. Your method of approving comments is likely better
