What is this spammer trying to accomplish?

Well... I won't need Akismet if the spam level is so low.
Many got blocked and a tiny number just passed the filter.
Saves me time.

Just be aware that some of the innocent spam links may contain mischievous codes that we don't want to click. They could be click counters to see CTR thus analyzing our behaviours. They could contain malicious codes to take over our PC.

Or they are just measuring us up for something we don't know, like returning notices to the originator. Maybe just to see our reactions in approving them before taking the next steps.

As you can see from Fluff's spam examples, there is a pattern:

1. All are purposely written with spelling mistakes.
2. All the IPs are different
3. All have different email addresses
4. All having the same dates
5. All sent in a span of 2 hours
6. All are short 1-liners
7. All have seemingly innocent URLs

Now, who sent them from different IP addresses. I bet it is the same person. He did his research and selected his targets. It is not random. Used spam bots from other people's PC, unknown to owners.

Spammers are cunning and deceptive.

Be aware of the recent spates of :
- Malware taking over PCs
- Browser re-direction caused by Browser Plugins and Add-ons.
- WP & CPanel being hacked or hijacked.

For all we know, other people might also be seeing our "SPAM COMMENTS" with our credentials that we didn't send.

I'm not trying to alarm anyone with my speculations. Just be aware and take steps to secure our PCs and WP sites as soon as possible.

fLufF,

You just got to move the scroll bar to $0. (It worked for me)

I had the same thing going on in my blog, accept in one week I got hit with 219 of them. When I shopped for answers, I was told it was a spammers way of creating 'backlinks' to a site they were trying to rank quickly, but I dunno.

I was also told they didn't care if the comments ever saw the light of day (or a moderators approval) as the spammers just wanted the bots and crawlers to snag the link back to their intended site.

Since I now moderate and use Askimet...problems stopped immediately.

Still would like to understand why exert such effort to spam, when proper SEO seems easier

All the Best,

Art

EDIT: Hmmmm just realized you mentioned there was no URL or keywords in your spam...odd, perhaps my above mention is obsolete in this case.
