More Spam Weirdness

So, I’ve gotten spam on poker, nudity, mortgages, poker, medicine, poker, and poker. I’ve even gotten trojan spam, where the message looks perfectly legitimate and even points to a legitimate site, but also includes spam links. I guess it is designed to throw off blacklisting or spam filtering. I find it usually has to do with poker.

Today I find spam for…flowers.

Flowers? As if I am really going to see one of the tens of spam comments and think to myself, “Oh, yeah! Flowers! I should pick up a bunch of them on the way home from work!” Of course, someone out there is clicking and buying.

I really need to add anti-bot capabilities to my comments section again.
