Well it appears that I'm going to have to add some sort of validation code to the comment posts for this blog. One of my posts has recently gotten several "comments" by bots trying to post links to sites where you can supposedly buy prescription drugs. I guess it was only a matter of time.

Seriously though, who actually sees links like that and expects them to be a legitimate place to buy prescription drugs? Especially when they come in emails with all sorts of nonsense text or poor broken English to get past the spam filters? There must be some people though, otherwise why would the spammers waste their time?

It's unfortunate that there are people out there gullible enough to fall for this stuff. I watched a DateLine program a while back about Internet scams. It's unbelievable the people that have fallen for them. Even people that you wouldn't expect like doctors. You'd think they'd be smart enough not to get caught by them.

So just a tip:
Never follow unsolicited links in emails. Especially if they seem too good to be true.
