Blogger Spam

I have been diligently posting for a few days now, and earlier today I received a notice that a new had registered with the email address of adolfodaine77@gmail.com.

Wondering if this was someone that I knew professionally, I first went to Rapleaf to determine which friend had registered. You can see the Rapleaf results here – it looks like his email has been “known” to them for about three months, but no details.

I tried Spock next, with similar results here – still no luck.

Google had the bad news – over 37 search results from both English, Cyrillic and German sites reporting similar registrations, here, here and here. Apparently this guy is not just the the fan I thought he was, but a new category of blog spammer.

This may be nothing new to the lot of you, but surprising to me – bloggers beware.
