This is today's spam log on my bulletin board. You'll see three mods active, and a number of Russian spammers. Can you return a list of IP addresses for the spammers please? I'm interested to look them up.

Based on the spam log you shared, here's a list of the IP addresses used by the spammers:

147.45.66.176 (Used by multiple spammers: Danielfeaby, AnthonySkiny, DonaldChusa)
193.233.253.92 (Used by GeorgeKnorp and Brettjak)
91.108.247.157 (Used by CarlosPledy)
143.244.54.28 (Banned IP found in Stop Forum Spam database)
91.232.110.53 (Banned IP found in Stop Forum Spam database)
185.90.60.214 (Used by MarlinCigue)


These appear to be Russian or Eastern European IPs based on the content of their spam (references to Russian text and services). The activity shows they're trying to post topics related to what appear to be darknet marketplaces ("Matanga," "Kraken Onion Marketplace," etc.), which is why they're being caught by Akismet and your moderators.

By contrast, here's a better written offering from earlier today. If only all writers were so polite and... how can I put this... legal.

Dear Good Friend

I am Dr.Ken Obiorah, a Chartered accountant by profession working with the Federal Ministry Of Agriculture in Nigeria. Perhaps you might be wondering why you have received this mail, but I can assure you that at the end, we both will be having discussion as to whatever profitable business(es) we should invest our respective share(s) in. I was assigned by two of my colleagues to seek for a foreign partner who will assist us in providing a convenient foreign account in any designated bank abroad for a transfer of US$52,750,000.00 pending on our arrival in your country for utilization and disbursement with the owner of the account.

This amount results from a deliberate inflation of the value of a contract awarded by our Ministry (The Federal Ministry of Agriculture, F.M.A) to an expatriate company who supplied Agricultural equipment to the Ministry. The contract has been executed and payment made to the ORIGINAL contractor, remaining the over-invoiced amount of US$52,750,000.00.which we want to transfer the fund out of the country for disbursement among ourselves (i.e You being the foreign counterpart, I and my other two colleagues). The transfer of this money can only be possible with your help being a foreigner who will be presented as the beneficiary of the fund.

As Civil servants, we are not allowed to operate foreign accounts, and this is the reason why I decided to contact you. We have agreed that if you/your company can act as the beneficiary of this fund (US$52,750,000.00 million), 15% of the total sum will be for you for assisting us from start to finish in this venture while 85% will be reserved for us.

We hereby solicit for your assistance in providing your convenient banking coordinate in a designated bank in your country where this fund would be transferred. We intend coming over on the completion of this transfer to secure our own share of the money.

Please note that we have been careful and have made all arrangements towards the success and smooth transfer of the fund to your account before I contacted you. For security reasons and confidentiality of this transaction, we demand that you should not expose this proposal and the entire transaction to anybody.

We are putting so much trust in you with the hope that you would not betray us or sit on this money when it is finally transferred into your account. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free. If this proposal is acceptable by you, indicate your interest by sending your response via an email to me including your working cellphone number.

Note that the particular nature of your company's business is not necessary needed for this transaction. if this transaction interests you, your urgent response will be appreciated.


In addition, there are some faceless beings in my country that are making use of top government official names to swindle money from innocent citizens around the globe and that includes my name. You can confirm by searching the name of our Central Bank of Nigeria Governor in person of Godwin Emefiele; you will see that his name is part of the scam list meanwhile we are innocent officials completely unaware of the situation happening of which after utilizing their names and profile, they will have uploaded on the internet in order to ruin their reputation making the citizens believe that the officials are corrupt.

Yours faithfully,
Dr.Ken Obiorah.
