Spellscan Scam Alert
I don't know if anyone has seen these comments on their blogs, but I just got one and then checked about it and found out it's a scam.
If you get a comment like the one below, it's done by a bot, and the site it refers to is a scam.
"It looks like you’ve misspelled the word “dispair” on your website. I thought you would like to know :). Silly mistakes can ruin your site’s credibility. I’ve used a tool called SpellScan . com in the past to keep mistakes off of my website."
At first I accepted the comment and even replied to it, but when I doublechecked about the website, it turns out that there are many scam alerts about it. It's a good thing that I didn't go on the spell scan website. As soon as I saw "scam" in my search results, I clicked on that to read more and saw that there were several sites warning about these bots.
They sign with different names, Randy, Kerry, you name it.
Just letting you all know.
Have a good week!

Thank you for passing on this information. I've always wondered if these people have nothing better to do or it's just a sick interest.
