theoldwolfIn the last week my journal has been inundated with spam comments from multiple bot accounts. The spam message is always the same:
Hey This is hard for me because I have never done anything like this.. but I have a huge crush on you. I have never been able to tell you for reasons which you would quickly identify as obvious if you knew who this was. I'm really attracted to you and I think you would be wanting to get with *Read FULL Card Here* http://hornylove.unudulmaz.bork [link obfuscated]
The URL redirects to a porn site being run by citysex.com - the WHOIS info is below.
Today's bot accounts were sundzregmemi, owenoo9, wenawe, and dopentingvil. The bots are regularly reported to LiveJournal, and they seem to be working to delete them quickly, but the flood continues.
Things like this are more an annoyance than anything else - I've reported the abuse to Enom, not really hoping that they can do anything about it, or care to, but I've done all I can.
I just wondered if anyone on my F-list has been plagued by similar messages?
EDIT: Based on the consensus expressed in the commentary below, I changed my comment status to "friends only," which stopped the spam cold. I don't like having to do this, but it saves me the constant cleanup.
