Feeling nervous? Want to loose weight?
Lately my site has seen a bunch of spam comments about Phentermine, Alprazolam, and other drugs… luckily they have all been caught by the builtin spam filters in WordPress. But what are all those drugs about anyway, and will people really buy drugs from some website (usually with a not so trustworthy name…) found via a link buried deep in a discussion about PHP Shell?!
A quick search on Google explains that Phentermine is used for loosing weight by lowering the appitite, and Alprazolam is used to relieve anxiety, nervousness, and tension. But is there really such a big market for such drugs?
I guess so, just as there has to be a market for all stuff email spam try to sell us. You know, those appliances and drugs that promise to enlarge various body parts in no time! :-)
I get a lot of that shit to. Only apparently I’m more of a poker person, at least that’s the comment and trackback spam I get.
Funny, huh, apparently you should lose weight, and I should play more poker :-)
:-) Hmm, I don’t know how to play poker and I’m pretty sure that I don’t need to loose weight (and I’m feeling pretty relaxed too) — those adds could sure use some targeting technology.
You betcha… I guess research and academic skills aren’t a top priority of them.
But then again maybe someone will click on it out of curiosity, thereby making it all worth while…
Nope, they have none of those skills… and from reading spam mails I’ve also concluded that many of them have no spelling skills either! ;-)
Funny thing about this post is that your own Google Ads now displays similar ads. How is that for irony!?
