There have been Friendster Comments that seem to be rampant recently:
And if you’ll notice your profile views, it doesn’t match with recent comments. Let me put it this way, on Tuesday, your profile views was 6. You checked your profile for any new comments then there’s none. The very next day, Wednesday, your profile views was still 6, then you checked again for comments and there you’ll see 1, 2 or more new entries and they are all the same but sent by different persons.
Correct me if I’m wrong but anyone won’t be able to add a testimonial/comment without viewing the person’s profile first. Unless Friendster’s counter is laid back.
In any case, the entries are somewhat suspicious. And if anyone here who thinks the same like I do or can share any information about it, please leave a comment on this post. It doesn’t hurt to be vigilant.
**Note: Please notice the word ‘potential’, this way I am not stating that this post is a fact. This is just based on my observation. And my aim to give everyone a headsup.

I think comments are placed there by spam bots. They may not really replicate human-user gui actions, therefore there are no increments to your views. The scraper application that I created, replicating human-user interactivity, can easily be stumped by captchas.
The spammers may have found a way to hack in to the comments table or found a loophole in the security on friendster comment posting.
Since these links from the comments may direct people to malicious websites, I think it is best to report this to the Friendster authorities and you delete such comments right away.
Happy Holidays!
Thanks for this info. And yes, delete these comments right away.
