This is a good sampling of the types of spam I usually get.

I have tried so many people all to no avail until one day someone I don’t even know sent me a number and all that I have been looking for lies in the hands of that number I was wondering then I tried calling the number that sent me the number but was not always reachable then I called low and behold from then my life has been a changed one for the best. My brothers and sisters I am now a living proof that the Great Illuminati exists. From the day I called that number my life has been a changed one.

They really are bizarre. I’ve always wondered just what the fuck they achieve by doing that crap. I suddenly get 5-6 a day. I don’t get it. Delete, delete, delete.

WP-Spamshield keeps all the spam away. I used to get a bunch of spam every day even with Akismet. Some were false negatives, and the rest still had to be cleaned out of the spam folder. I haven’t seen any spam at all in months, but Spamshield tells me it’s been coming in. There’s a few minutes spared out of my day. I won’t be going back to Akismet at this rate. 🙂

Dude… it’s like as if the world is a psychedelic funny… is it me or do I have the munchies.
To understand why the spam messages are phrased like they are, you need to understand how spam filters work on a high level. The more popular spam filters work using a bayesian filtering algorithm (it is based on some high level statistical analysis as such I don’t understand it myself). What it does associates certain words and phrases as spam. The purpose of those spam messages is to pollute the analysis such that future spam messages will make it past the filter.
