Comment spam wars: escalation

Reverse psychology in spam

Now this is amusing, a feedback item received at dslr:

Hi, I am Radhika from <removed> site. We came across your site, where there are some links to <removed> from the page Could you please remove <removed> links from your site as we donĂ¢€™t want any incoming links to our site. Kindly remove the links ASAP. Thanks & Regards Radhika G, iGlobalMedia Group Email: radhikag@iglobalmedia.com

A google search on the domain (removed from the text) provides a usenet full of their spam, comment spam all over weblogs and well, if they don’t want a link then my mother is a turkey! (sorry mom).

Obviously geared at websites with hope the owners will fall for it and write a “Haha, look at these idiots, they don’t want a link” article with, of course, a link.

Sneaky, sneaky.
