Sorry for the low quality spam
Even the intriguing-looking foreign language ones are boring. I’ve gotten this one numerous times: شركة تنظيف عمائر بالرياض. Translation? Building cleaning company in Riyadh. Since nobody is coming to an obscure American blog to find a cleaner in Riyadh, I assume it’s one of those deals where having your site linked to from many different places makes it rise in some directory app somewhere.
Probably the same for this Korean message: 상품 판매와 방송 운영을 동시에 관리할 수 있는 서비스를 찾고 계신다면 문의해주세요 If you are looking for a service that allows you to manage product sales and broadcast operations simultaneously, please contact us.
I guess the Chinese must be free to explore porn: 最佳xxx网站 为成熟观众提供优质内容。探索 经过验证的成人网站 以确保质量和隐私。The best xxx websites offer high-quality content for a mature audience. Explore verified adult sites to ensure quality and privacy.
This Turkish suckup is different: Makaleniz açıklayıcı yararlı anlaşılır olmuş ellerinize sağlık means Your article is informative, useful, and easy to understand—well done! I get a lot of those in English and I assume the email address is the sting. I wonder if there are any bloggers so desperate for engagement they leave these in place?
Uncle Al has suggested I go into the comment form and change Name, Email and Website to something nonsensical so bots can’t figure out how to navigate them. It might be worth trying.
Incidentally, the fake Spam in the picture is a real product from Walmart. I pinched it from an article comparing it to the real thing. Spoiler: the author liked the Walmart fake better.
Good weekend!

Some of the Walmart stuff is pretty good…I drink Great Value Instant Coffee, lol. Their fruit cocktail is pretty good, comes from Greece.

Would Walmart be permitted to sell that stuff to anyone from the UK?
After all, it clearly is not halal!!!
Nor kosher!!!

I would note that the following article at that link “6 Canned Meats You Should Be Eating And 6 To Avoid” could be helpful if you are worried about supply chains and it getting hungry out. Those and a stockpile of rice and pasta of whatever sort [plain spaghetti would be the cheapest] and maybe some vitamin supplements would keep you and yours going for quite a while. I would note that the starches would have to be stored in a rodent proof container.

The DNS for the domain sending the spam messages is registered with Amazon AWS, so there’s nothing to stop you reporting it. The contact details are here:

It’s likely that the domain registrar will do nothing, but you could get lucky.

It’s pretty funny having spammers compliment you on the quality of your spam-bashing.
I too have found your grasp of this topoc especially cromulent.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
