We have had a recent proliferation of spam posts by our friends from places we've never heard of, and a few who claim to be located here in the United States. (And many thanks to Eddie for cleaning them out for us.)

I suspect that many of these are posted as part of those work at home schemes. I'm sure you've seen the ads, especially when reading news articles. They are customized for our location, so mine usually read: "Longmont Mom Makes $40,000 a Day Working at Home."

This morning I decided to take a look at several of these posts, mainly to see if there is any intelligent life out there, and none has shown up since the last time I looked.

Many of them are just gibberish, and I wonder if there is some kind of computer program that generates random text.

Here are some nuggets from the latest crop of spam:

"These transportation companies have a wide range of vehicles at their advantage and they make sure that each and every one of them are handled thoroughly and kept in first category condition."

"With these instructions you can come up with a magnificent outcome in your body, and maybe improve it as long as you can endure."

"It isn't difficult proven which searching on the Internet, you will discover abundon regarding online shops saling Nike sneakers with low cost price tag, and also some content articles expose products inside their web shops. The convinent associated with Web genuinely preserve consumer's time, offer a lot more choices to alter the actual meet associated with modern society."

But if you look at the engrish.com website, all is explained because this is how folks are learning English:





Aside from the irritation of these fake blog posts, we have to recognize that this sort of written Engrish is what saves us from rampant identity theft.

For example, when those phishing emails tell us to click on the link and provide our social security number and account login information, some of them look very authentic until we notice some little bit of awkwardness:

"Please to click on link and log in to mutual happiness in our banking site."

But for this sort of blunder, back in the day when phishing was new to me, I might have clicked on the link.
