Well, this is an interesting piece of comment spam: Amidst the junk comments sent to this blog yesterday came this one (presented here unedited) sent from an Atlanta-area IP and tagged with an email address from a Russian domain. I wonder how many people fall for this sort of thing … and what happens when they do.

hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments , I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq 454528835 or write me tedirectory(at)yahoo.com , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you

Uh huh. Or you can just install something like Akismet.
