And another spammer. This time from 109.230.245.220
(I’ve had heaps to this post, just I block nearly all of them or edit the back-link out, as I’ve done here).

Ha Ha.
This is another spam comment to this post… It seems that the way to attract comment spam is to talk about it!

The IP address, 89.28.6.33, is logged as a spammer at Project Honeypot here, http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_89.28.5.254 which is in Moldova.

This comment above came from slow-pc-tuneup.webhop.net/langsom-pc.htm which you'll find also is the homepage of the Renault Megane….
So the irony is again not lost on me considering the post title is about combatting wordpress comment spam – ha ha!

FYI, the IP address of the spammer is 80.167.115.198 which is in Copenhagen. However, webhop.net is a Manchester USA company – you work it out!

Thanks Dude.

Co-incidentally I had another email spam purge today, tracing some new-ish looking things through and all.. They may be old hat now, but it’s the first time I noticed them and then looked in earnest as usually everything is binned without a second thought.

This spam lark has certain similarities with record label machinations – I’ve just checked out the 4AD history. It’s all wheels within wheels and there’s a LOT of purely criminal activity behind much of it. Some of it is bright, some completely clueless, which is what you get when a load of chancers are after a quick buck.
