Spam Alert.
Morning everyone, (I'm in New Zealand)
Hope you are all well. I awoke to a bit of an awakening surprise. On checking my emails I was notified of a comment on one of my websites. Because it had a spam alert I thought I better take a look. Bearing in mind this is a first for me but on seeing the comment I was really quite taken back.
I guess I'm a bit naive, but I wondered how and why!! does someone do this. It is an awfully long comment, I did not read it all because the first few lines was enough!
Something about sex with men clothing, sex with woman toys. I have put it under spam, but I guess because it's my first spam comment, I'm wondering if this a norm, and why would someone choose my site -
If any one could enlighten me, that would be great.
I shall go and have a herbal tea now to clear my mind.
May you all have a beautiful day and weekend ahead.......

Hi Anita
I wouldn't worry about it it's most likely connected to a sexual website that sells that stuff. A little as Ann Summers used to if they are still around. Sometimes these kinds of spam can be posted just about anywhere a little like the viagra websites years ago, they were terrible spammers.
