A point for intelligent design in unintelligent spam

Posted in Spam by Elliott Back on February 10th, 2006.

I keep getting the following spam which leads me to believe that comment spammers are NOT evolving:

Hey congratulations! This is a very good blog! I just read your post and I agree with you. By the way, my partner and I are running a new project about Asset depreciation software and I found your site while looking for information in this field. Your work looks very professional and you might be perfect to work with us. If you are interested, you can contact us by email. Keep up your work, it’s excellent!

Only an intelligent designer could create a spammer so stupid to think, “Hi, I read your post, btw *insert spam here*” will in the least way fool anyone..

    I love comment spam. Sometimes it’s so random and bizarre, ie. ‘Read your post. Great blog! Why not check out my blog about vulcanized rubber?’

    How many people are buying car tires over the internet that this sounds like a good idea?

    I often wonder if anyone is actually behind spam at all. Maybe it’s just the self-organization of bits in the IP network…
