TOPIC: Blog Comments

I ran across something today that has just cropped up in my (very extensive) website blog experience.  Blog comments.  However, they are not what I would want to see.  The first is dated March 19 and the latest April 11, just yesterday.

I am getting three kinds -

1.  Total gibberish.  Letter combinations that make absolutely no sense.  There are orange phrases however, which appear like links they want me to click on.
2.  The, "Hi, I am Ian from Cameroon," or other African countries.  Then they say they are English teachers and want me to comment on a phrase they write, which is incorrect English.
3.  The compliment about how great a job I am doing on my site and (there have been many of these) they want me to click on an orange phrase about kitchen islands.  The phrase is different, but the words "kitchen islands" has always been there.

It is possible that these are silly, spam comments, but I fear it is to get me to click on the phrase or reply and doing that installs something in my computer, or Dom's servers, or everybody's on this site, or some other devious thing.

Is anyone else experiencing this?  Whatchuseein?

I will keep you posted about any others that occur to me.

I get 99.9% SPAM, just don't approve it. I think Dom said he is working on this for us.

Yup, just delete the spam. You can't affect the server, but they could link you to a site with a virus. If it has a link in it, delete it.

Thanks Dom.  Go to bed!
