I always skim my spam comments before I delete them. I got a chuckle out of them this week and I learned so much!
Here’s what I gleaned this week:
- Someone thinks I can read Russian. 🇷🇺
- I am destined to be a famous blogger. 👩🏼💻
- Someone’s boss took them out to lunch as a reward for referring them to my blog. 🍝
- I have a very kissable mouth. 😳 Ewwww
- If I am in the market for male enhancement drugs, I know where to go. 💰
- There were at least 20 blogs someone ‘thinks’ I should follow. 🖥
- Almost everyone has my blog bookmarked by now. Ha! 🔖
- There must be a huge market for selling branded medications.
- I added a few words to my blocklist. 🤬
- I am fast becoming an expert in my field. 👩🏼🌾
Spammers never give up. I imagine many people sitting at their computers copying and pasting these same link-laden comments to any blog they can access. What a horrible way to pass the time. I know many of them get paid minimal fees to push the wares and whims of others. If these got through, I cannot imagine what Akismet caught.
Same on the spam phone calls or texts. Terrible waste of time. ‘Follow the money’!

I rarely get those allowed through these days, but I must get upwards of 40 a day in the folder that I have to delete. Many are done by machines running software of course, so I presume that there must still be enough people out there silly enough to click on the links.
Best wishes, Pete.

They are very entertaining, Maggie. I’ve had the one about someone’s boss taking them out for lunch as a reward for introducing them to my blog 🙂

I guess it is hard to come up with original comments. Spammers must get writers block, too.

I get a couple of other Asian languages in there. I’ve seen Korean and Chinese, and I think I got a Vietnamese once.
