Clueless comment spammer
I got a comment today that seemed unusually clueless. I’m sure many bloggers would think it WAS a clueless comment, and approved it. I waited for the other shoe to drop. And it did. From another IP number, and with another link in the URL field, another clueless comment was left on the same post. And what do you know, the websites ping the same IP number…
So, here are the clueless comments:
1) Hi! I can not load the image on server in any way.
2) Help, I can not understand with the coding…
3) Hi Do not prompt how to adjust a font of the messages?
4) Hi
I can not find coordinates for a feedback.
Spambot IP numbers (most likely proxies):
147.202.65.178
204.50.14.17
72.9.236.50
69.72.139.138
And website IP:
72.9.234.170
66.246.252.141
66.96.212.210
But I’m unsure of that IP address. It could be a proxying server. I’ll leave that to others to investigate.

A 26 year old guy who said his website was artpromcompany.ru, is named Anton, and has ICQ number 230087306. He also claimed to have another site, also owned by ilya. He even has a blog on Livejournal. But since I don’t read Russian that well, I won’t be studying it in depth.

Turns out the spammer has been at it for a little while. He’s been pestering guestbooks with sentence number 2 for at least a week.
