13 spammers

Does it seem to you like lately the spammers have been more creative? Check out some of the comments they tried to leave on my blog:

1. Left on the T13 I did a little while back about manga: Why is a square meal served on round plates?

2. A refinancing “service” left on one of Mr. Al’s Wednesday posts on history: punctilious post. simply one decimal where I quarrel with it. I am emailing you in detail. If the person emailed, I never got it.

Lots of the spammers are going after that manga post check out what came in today:

3. Thank you very much for that splendid article.
(It kills me when they put this on Suzie’s House – which is NOT an article)

4. It is the second entry I read tonight. Thank you. (Yeah, I’m not sure about this one, but the link back wasn’t to a Thursday 13er.)

5. hey,looks like we’re on the same path. good stuff! come by and say hi! cheers Reginald Melchor (This one signed in as Digital Audio Speakers.)

6. It sounds like that when you are looking (If it didn’t cut off there I might have taken it seriously)

7. lengthy and in depth article but full of useful information (I almost took this one seriously, until I checked the link. 200 words is lengthy and in depth?)

8. This one hit my Sunday recipe post as a track back five times in one day:
[…] A nice web master added an interesting post today on Pistachio and Cookie Parfait Alice’s RestaurantHere’s a small reading […]

9. At least that’s better than .141, who is a woman who lives in Jamaica and spams long lists of insurance, etc. I’ll say more about her on Tuesday.

10. This was posted by SandraRaven15: Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog. 🙂 Cheers! Sandra. R.
Sandra, if you’re a real person and not just someone looking for a chink in my spam catcher’s armor, I’m sorry, but if you don’t have a blog, just leave the link field empty. Don’t put google.

11. This one linked back to a camera ad. Why is Charlie short for Charles if they are both the same number of letters? I could maybe see this on one of Mr. Al’s posts, but on Manga?

12. Thank you much for that wonderful blog post. The funny thing about this is that it went to my link exchange post, which is far from wonderful. I mean, I’m confessing to the a ditz there. No need to rub it in. Oh, and it was signed “mcdonalds coupons” and linked back to an ad.

13. Frankly speaking

signature: zelnorm 6mg

The part where it says “signature: zelnorm 6mg” linked to the same ad as the true sig line. Overkill, anyone? This was on one of Mr. Al’s posts.

If you left a comment here and I failed to fish it out of my spam catcher, you can see the confusion here, right? Just let me know it’s happening, and I’ll be sure to watch for you. And if you think something you have to say might look like spam, say my name. That always gets my attention.
