This Week in Philippine Spam

·

Have you been receiving a lot of spam lately in your comments? A certain “Keren Pascual” (not confirmed to be the real one, obviously) has been spamming comments in ALL of my blogs using the URLs of the Philippine Star and reposting articles from the lifestyle sections of our top broadsheets. Not only is that spam, it also might have copyright issues because everything sources back to the Star’s website despite some articles belonging to the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

I’ve also been receiving comment invites to the Consumer Expo 2008 by T3 Magazine and Summit. I have nothing against them (I know Vince and Ed personally) but I really think they should take a second look at whoever they hired to do the event’s Internet marketing. I know it’s not just in my blog – I saw the same invite in other bloggers’ comments section.

That’s what my email contact form is for — these sort of invites. Please, Internet marketer, don’t spam the comments section and give T3 a bad reputation. If they had emailed me, I’d have written about it anyway. It isn’t tasteful when it comes spammed several times into your comments section, especially for such a kick ass event!

    Fritz is too nice. I deleted the Consumer Expo Spam.

    Keren Pascual is a PR guy. Might really be him, might not. Either way, it’s annoying.

    Tsk, tsk, tsk… this is so not good. Keren is a party-PR-events guy, but do you think he himself did the spamming?

    I’ll check on this. Our the Consumer Electronics Live event is handled by a separate division within Summit (Summit Live).
