Mafia Spammers (the cheekiest spammer ever?)
I received the cheekiest spam comment on my blog today.
hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments ,
I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq 454528835 or write me tedirectory(at)yahoo.com , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you
This is equivalent to <strong>Mafia asking for protection money</strong> when they are likely the ones you need protecting from.
My blog gets a lot of traffic and so I get about 1000 spam comments a week. My spam filter catches about 80% of them and as I don’t allow comments to be visible until I’ve read them personally the other 20% don’t make it either. So I see a lot of spam but that has to be the cheekiest.
1) He has no power over the spam comments on my site so has nothing to offer
2) He is a spammer himself
3) He is trying to con google into boosting his site’s ranking at the same time as trying to con blog owners
I hope no one falls for this and uses a free spam filter such as Akismet.
I am very tempted to use <a href=”http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39289916,00.htm”>the YouTube loophole</a> to spam his email address.

Yes, that “spammer’s friend” is really pathetic. I found about him on my Google alerts about a month ago, apparently this twit is still at it.
My cheeky comment back to this Richard reject goes as follows:
No deal, Rick, dude! I’m not spamming my own site with your link, and I don’t want anyone telling me what to put on my sites for any reason or in exchange for anything. And if you know a lot of spammers and personally can contact them, then why the heck aren’t you really doing something to help isps rid the internet of them? Doesn’t say much for your own character, does it, hmmmm?
You’re a spammer yourself, and if anything, in competition with the others.
Besides, if I refuse to put your lousy link up on my site, you could always do the opposite of what you promise and actually spam on your own or get other spammers to spam, which I have full confidence you would be petty enough to do.
So forget it, I’m not buying that load of rotten potatoes from you.
I’ll just laugh at your pathetic attempt at boosting your ego by trying to get the highest rankings in search engines. You have no life. I suggest you get one, quick!
