Ok, so I’m not sure what just happened….
When I woke up, I looked at the spam folder for wordpress – 3 comments. All actual spam so I just deleted them.
Came online to check a comment. Looked at the dashboard page and 158 comments!!! OMG!!!
If any of them are actually real, I’m sorry….I’m just going to delete them all.

If they are comments from real readers, they will continue to place those readers comments into spam. Just letting you know. 🙂

This comment ended up in spam! I look for things that show a genuine comment, like a blog address or an email that isn’t obviously fake. I also will hover over the picture. So I hope that if anyone made a genuine comment they will post again. I noticed that like 20 at a time were all posted at exactly the same moment, which is strange, and none of them have actual pictures (yours does!)for their avatar, or a proper email. I skimmed through 6 of the 9 pages before giving up and just deleted them all haha

I scanned through the first 6 pages of 9 when there was 158 comments. And nothing looked real so I just gave up and deleted them all. Then I had about 20 more over 5 minutes and one was real (it was on this post actually), and now it’s finally tapered off.

How strange is that! I’ve just checked both of my blogs and I don’t have any spam at all.

Sometimes the spam is written as if a computer assembled it. Strange vocabulary!

Yes! And the same comment 5 times in a row but all my “different” people but all posted in less than a minute? What if someone is getting paid by the comment to spam people’s blogs?! I’d take that job lol

Sounds like someone is trying a phishing scheme. Maybe they’re hoping you click on their link and give you malware?

Maybe…..but I only click on the ones that I KNOW are real. All the others get deleted.

I had a friend who went on holidays for 2 weeks, came back to work to 2000 emails, and just deleted them all- he figured the important ones would be re-sent with URGENT as the Subject line! : ~ D
