Spammers or spambots?
Spammers or spambots? Humans can act as spammers when they send spam emails or spam comments or something like that just because they want to give you troubles. Spambots are on the other side automated computer programs designed for sending spam. Spambots usually create fake accounts and send spam using them. Not always but in many cases it is easy to recognize those. It is also easy to protect e.g. own comment forms against this problem simply by using an anti spam protection.
In emails or comments send from spambots you can see that sender email address looks strange. It has automatically generated text in the front of e.g. @gmail.com and it simply does not exist as a real email address. In this case you can understand that the email or comment you have received is nothing to keep. Also the content can be very strange. There is some text about a real website or some website that does not exist. It maybe looks like a commercial content for some product or some website. Anyway, there is a big risk if you care about links in the content and if you want to see more information about the sender because you can have bad luck and get some virus installed on your computer.
An advice is to be calm and careful and simply ignore and/or delete spam emails or comments. And of course if you need some Anti spam protection you are able to find a good one at e.g.
