Who is DUTINHIDA??

Post by sleepycarol » Sun Jan 20, 2008 3:14 pm

I have noticed several post in the past from DUTINHIDA and don't get it. Is it strictly spam for him or what? It seems like it is always the same message.

It's SPAM..... I wish I had a dollar for every one of those that I've deleted.

At least it's sort of "friendly" and not in Russian.

I did a search for the entire text at google and it has shown up at a LOT of places just like it reads here. What can spammer gain from this? It's not like they ask anything of us so what's the point of these weird messages?

What do they stand to gain?

I sure hope somebody can answer that. The only possible answer anyone has been able to offer me is that there are services that computer generate these postings in an attempt to boost their related search ranking. Now, I could see that if somewhere there is an organization called Dutinhida, and they are hoping someone will search for them out of curiosity and they'll snag a viewer or two to their site, but aside from that, I don't understand what all the other occasional ones are. A few weeks a go I did a search on a guest poster's unusual name and found her associated with foreign porno sites. I know that every post that starts out "I just joined" yet is still a guest I consider spam. Oh well.

Kathy,

Wonder how many will try to locate that person?

I am just glad there are regular posters that are like family!! You may not always like everything they have to say -- but they are telling you for your own good how it is!!

It's simple really.... he/she/they want attention. And by devoting time and energy to being puzzled over him/her/them... they achieve, incognito, to trouble you and suck time and energy from your life.

Of course, some meanness on their part probably plays into the mix of their psychotic behavior. It could be, too, bipolar disorder. Many with that afflcition will go to great extremes to manipulate others into paying attention to them.... even when they can't witness the immediate effects of their "jerk your chain" actions. It's just sad....
