Coming out of Belgium. Probably a spammer looking for sites. Just make sure it's marked as spam and move on. :)

Then they leave a bunch of numbers as their comment.

I do have 75 caught ones though. I must have lucked out. :)

However, I had a neat freakout before going to bed and jettisoned eveything. Just a second [she goes to check he sent email mailbox]

Nerts! This is all I found - no copy of the original "google comments and reviews" example which I sent in on feedback.

Hi,
This is part of a new wave of spam.
Mark them as spam and remove. Akismet will have started catching them already so they should disappear fast.
Sorry about that!

Podz

Maybe podz kept a copy of the example I sent?

Unless they're leasing $75 a month servers form some company called Swift which is where the IP points to.

This threads says its spam. I tend to agree although I have yet to see one of these.

Google.ru does resolve to *a* google, whether it's an official one or not I don't know.
