Just got a spam ad for an AI blog creation tool.  You just give it a few keywords and it will write blog posts for you.

As if there aren't enough bot-generated junk sites already . . .

Well, this is a new spam.

Would have been better if they hadn't reversed first and last names.  So, if your name was Johnny A. Smith, it opened by saying, "Hi, Smith!"

It purports to be a medical report for my relative, "B. Johnny A."

I can view his discharge summary by clicking a link.  Of course, I'm not clicking that link.

But, it's like, well, first they screwed up by mixing up first and last names.  Second, it would be a violation of privacy rights to send me someone else's medical report.

Then it gives me "your" medical test number.  So, who had the test?  Me or the supposed relative?

Then I should not delay getting medical assistance for my family.  So, we're back to my supposed relative again?

So many screw-ups in one spam message.

Also, I am tempted (again) to put up a fake WordPress login page on my site (which does not use WordPress) just to keep the less sophisticated would-be hackers busy trying to login to a page that wouldn't actually log them into anything.

Why not let them log in, and redirect them to a porn site.

They might enjoy that?

Maybe I could redirect them to a phishing site.  :icon_rofl:  Let the scammers scam each other for a bit.

As a minor update, submissions from the comment form on my website remains mostly spam-free.  The one exception is the occasional submission from some janitorial service.  Either they have a real person submitting spam or their bot is able to figure out the obstacles on my form.  I need to edit the code to block them too regardless of whether they pass the challenges.

Thank you for visiting and commenting here. Without an acct. I got too much spam in the comments. But I get it, not wanting to have anything to do with google.

The first year we kept bees, we got enough honey to make mead. It took a long time until it became smooth--we'd taste it every 3 months and by 9 months it was lovely. I want to make candles and balms from all the beeswax too. Good stuff!

Vijaya, I tried to leave a comment on your blog post, but needed a google login and then more google stuff so I backed out.
I love the bee hive. And the farm animals where you got the bees from. Enjoy the honey produced.

I posted some pictures of our new bees on my blog: https://vijayabodach.blogspot.com/2024/04/keeper-of-bees.html

You have quite a menagerie. Lovely  :). They must keep you busy.
