The following were in my Comments Spam folder - word for word.
"This excellent website truly has all the info I needed concerning this subject and didn't know who to ask. My web-site grow taller 4 idiots free download pdf."
"This paragraph provides clear idea designed for the new visitors of blogging that truly how to do blogging. Also visit my webpage boom beach diamonds hack."
Yep, I'm gonna check out those websites pronto.
Oh, and both these spam comments were on yesterday's post. Which had no words. Only a video. And both were by, you guessed it, "Anonymous."
I love my Delete button.

I have tried and tried to get rid of that kind of spam. I tried the "verification" thing and still got spam. I tried comment approval and just had to delete all the spam anyway. I have never successfully attacked the problem.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any words of wisdom, Harry. I'm not all that well versed on how Blogger works, and as you can see, I keep it simple. The idiotic comments like these two wind up in the Spam file under "Comments" on the page where you look up statistics. I just check that file maybe once a week and delete whatever is there. I don't think it matters what you do - spammers are going to try. It is easier for me to just delete than to get my knickers in a knot over it.
ReplyDeleteOf most concern, but your blog is exceptional, without belief.
ReplyDeletePicture, if you will, a chubby gray-haired granny sitting all by herself in front of a computer screen, laughing until the tears roll. Thanks, Jess. I needed that!
ReplyDeleteI am getting around 11 spam a day. I wish I could find out if they get paid for it..payback.
ReplyDeleteRob...Some time back I was getting 30-40 per day. I just deleted them. Now it's down to two or three per week. I don't know for sure, but I think if you acknowledge them in any way, they just keep on. Ignored, they seem to go away, at least for now!
ReplyDeleteIt happens everywhere, I reckon. I keep getting emails supposedly from people who saw my resume on careerbuilder.com (though I never sent them one) that have the same sort of word usage and typos in those scams from Nigeria. It's all that I can do not to check out those jobs that pay hundreds of thousands a year for part-time work! lol
ReplyDeleteGorges...Yeah, I get all sorts of weird emails, too. I just go in about once a week and delete the whole works. Those hundreds of thousands of dollars a year jobs are probably by the same folks that years ago ran magazine ads that claimed you could get rich by stuffing envelopes!! You have to wonder why they bother, except that P. T. Barnum was right - there is a sucker born every minute.
