well that's odd

[dragonyphoenix]

a Russian comment in one of my posts translates to "Hello! I offer friendship magazines."

Anyone know what that's about?

My instinct would be to steer clear; unless you're looking for a mail order bride, of course.

I think I actually wrote a story where one of my commenters offered to sell me false id so a mail-order bride wouldn't be the oddest offer I've ever gotten. *shakes head*

Non google-translate meaning of that comment it "let's mutually friend each other". Just random spam from someone obsessed with increasing their friend count for statistics\getting into LJ top lists. It's still a thing in the Russian part of LJ.

Oh, thank you. I wanted to know what was up before deciding whether or not to reply. Definitely won't.

If they were actually reading your journal, they'd have written to you in English.

True.

At least they didn't claim to be Bill Gates offering a prize to chosen PC users or a Nigerian prince with his assets frozen and in need of urgent help.

Spam. ;)

Well that I would have known to ignore. This was new and thus required some thought. ;-)

[kerkevik-2014.livejournal.com]

Always wondered why Bill Gates was reading my emails...

*damn! that Nigerian prince wasn't real!*

I would feel compelled to ignore that.

Yeah, that's what I will do. The unusual format did make me curious though.
