hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments ,
I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq 454528835 or write me tedirectory(at)yahoo.com , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you

What a joke hey – why would I even think about emailing this guy Richard, especially when I have Akismet! 🙂

And it seems I’m not the only one who’s recieved this same blog post comment spam. Maybe I should email/icq the guy and play along with his game.. 😛
