The 20 most flattering things spammers have said to me this week

This IS the best post I’ve ever read!

*GASP!*

You mean that none of those compliments are real? but but… I get those as wordpress comments all the time, and hotgrl4u seems really nice (except her spelling is a bit odd, but she’s probably foreign).

Now I’m depressed and it’s all your fault.

Wolfie!

I like this VERY much.

I can see you’ve taken some time putting this list together, well done – t’was a good read.

Now I read back my comment and try to ensure that IT doesn’t sound like spam.

Ha – I wrote a post last week about the inferiority complex you could get from the subject lines from spammers (and i’m a girl) i.e. “Hello, Smallest thing of the year, How are you? ; )”

http://blog.jericho.co.nz/how-.....downunder/

I collect these subject lines, some of them are gold, but i only used a few in my post cos i dont want my clients thinking i’m obsessed with my size…

I have no idea what this is about

Web Spam from “Efrain Thrush”, can be stopped by taking a pill or using a topical cream. Or switching to cotton underwear, I’m told…

This is Spam !

I remember the first time I received this kind of spam. It was a string of Japanese characters I was unable to decipher.

I fired up Google translate and ran my japanese compliment through and was really flattered and chuffed…I even remarked about how chuffed I was on my blog the next day, extolling the virtues of the internet.

I then noticed that in the trailing ‘……………………………..’ every full stop was a link to porn.

🙁

Don’t buy from ‘Free Viagra From y0z2a’ all he gives you are headache pills!!

…allegedly.

I have seriously received some of the exact same comments as these! One of my favourites:

I was very happy to find this internet-site.I wished to thanks to your time for this wonderful read!! I undoubtedly having fun with every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you weblog post.

Sometimes when I’m feeling rejected from lack of real comments I just delete their links and change their name from ‘free porno sex’ to ‘Vic’.

Then I feel popular!

“I have no words to appreciate this.”

What amuses me is when organisational blogs publish some of this spam thinking they are genuine comments.

I like your blog long time!

I am obviously a spam virgin. I have never seen such elaborate spam techniques and feel violated just at the thought. No ethics in some people.

Hi Tim, can you help me make a finely honed judgement call on this one?

I received a comment on my post “10 Ways to Work Incredibly Hard with No Results Guaranteed” that read:
‘Earn a degree in commercial mandolin. Dr. B, author, “The Mandolin Case”‘.

So was that spam, or is Dr B suggesting a rather unique way to work hard with no results guaranteed?

Remember Tim…all the time go after your heart.

@ Cara – I totally do this too. I’m so glad I’m not the only loser out there!! 😉
