Best Spam Messages on FilmVerse

One of the banes of our modern existence is spam in our email inbox, but what I’ve learned since maintaining FilmVerse is that spammers also target the comment section of blogs. Of course, we all had knowledge of this in an academic way thanks to all the Captchas that we have to wade through any time we log on to practically every website. While WordPress is one of the easier systems, it still has its issues.

WordPress filters out a lot of spam from even reaching the blog, but what does slip by is sent to a special folder so readers won’t ever see these genius compositions, many of which attempt to sound like they are from a real person who read the article, but many times they consist of a random jumble of words that may or may not be English. The one common component is that there is a website linked (sometimes the entry is filled with links) to an obviously commercial site. It’s questionable as to why the people (robots?) sending out these messages think that they’ll be successful in fooling others into not only thinking what is written is real, but also to follow the link to the advertised websites and buy their services. Often the messages sounds complimentary, but are oddly vague in their flattery.

Here is a compilation of some of the best spams sent to FilmVerse with the “author” credited. The messages are written verbatim, with spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors intact for your reading pleasure (though long rambling nonsensical essays have been omitted).

“[Britensure Yellow Teeth] is really a tried and tested safe and effective merchandise that will provide you with some sort of assured eight pigments richer providing you with this confidant look which you have looking on to get.”

“It is possible to win the lottery on the very first try. You don’t have to mortgage your home to win a few bucks like so many people do. Are you confident that your lottery strategy will work? If you don’t have one, don’t worry about it…. knowing what can go wrong will make it easy for you to win the lottery.
It is also important that you re-invest a portion of your profits into your business! That way, not only will your business continue to grow, but its GROWTH RATE will also increase! This in turn brings in MORE profits, which allows you to invest MORE into your business… Do you see a pattern!?”
