Is this spam?

Spammers are getting really good of masking themselves. Here is a screenshot that I took what I believe is a spam message. It looks real because it has a picture of a person, but really the comment doesn’t go a long with the post. I wouldn’t allow this through because the comment doesn’t go a long with the post. Do you think this comment is spam?

You need to protect your blog from these pesky spammers. You should have your blog comments in moderation mode. You should also run Akismet on your blog. My Akismet has blocked over 6,000 spam messages. That is sure is a lot of comments that were spam. How do you combat spam on your blog?

    I got the same comment Greg but Akismet got it. Sometimes I approve it, sometimes I don’t. It depends of the URL and their name.
