I get some interesting spam comments on my blog, most of which are captured by Akismet, WordPress’ spam blocker. I generally do a mass delete of all of my spam comments after checking to see if any legitimate comments got caught up in Akismet’s spam-catching net.
I thought it might be fun to select a particularly interesting or unique or outrageous spam comment and highlight it each week.
I received only about 40 spam comments this past week. Most of them were repeats from the Dog God and the Keto Queen. I also got a number of comments from women of various ages who want to talk with me. My favorite was from a woman who wrote, “I’m a 48 year old mother and I really need someone to talk to.”
I was thinking of responding, “I have three suggestions: your husband, your kids, and a shrink.” But I didn’t. I just deleted the spam comment.
What about you? Have you read some catchy spam comments that you’d like to share with us? If so, put them ir #FSCW.
This, That, and the Other 
The dog guy left me a couple as well as that “movie” spammer. I received a whole bunch of comments that didn’t SEEM like spam because they were all “great post,” “sweet,” “beautiful,” etc., but some didn’t match the content and his address had “handyman” in it, so I deleted them all…

My guess is the 48-year-old wanting someone to talk to, supposedly, is rather a scammer (of any age, nationality, and sex at all) fishing for someone to fall for stories.

I think my spammers gave up… only 9 new spam comments this week, shocking! One of those 9 was a slam on me and my site. I guess I can do better and stop “attention seeking.” I will get right on that.
