Comments spam efforts
August 16th 2007 -
Comments spam nowadays is getting trickier and trickier. There’s some kind of spambot sourced at clickbank dot com that is really trying hard:
“Hope it’s OK for a complete stranger to post to you ….but, WOW…it’s been ages since I heard anyone say they were practising archery…I used to compete…until all the local clubs in my area died out :-((
Stick with it….compete if you can …you’ll love it. Kind Regards.”
Presumably they’ve got a whole list of relatively obscure sports to plug into the script – but it’s a nice try. They have many more scripts that they try out. It’s the referring link that really gives them away, otherwise I’d almost be sucked into approving one of these some day. At that point, presumably, they’d blurt out big doses of comment spam.

What do they have to gain out of that? Will they be able to spam your website?
