I got this (along with a few variations) comment to several splodefromcute posts.

We are currently seeking people who are looking part time job. You can earn as much as $80/per hour and recieve as much as $8216 per month without having hard time to do the job done.Please Read and visit this site for more informations >>> Goo.gl/189kzYOU MUST SEE THIS LINK FOR JOB DESCRIPTION

Obama and Harper Lee fans, perhaps?

I kind of wish it were real; I could use the money. Maybe it is, but the job is something godawful like telemarketing. Or breaking up rocks in the hot sun, with a commission of 25¢ a rock.

Several "lucky" commenters to the posts got it as well. I hope nobody followed the links, and that I'm not risking that by leaving some of them up for the moment.

They were from a Facebook account, so I went through a few hoops over there to report it. I haven't deleted all of them yet -- I want to make sure Facebook sees them -- but Facebook did get back to me with assurances that they're looking into it and will keep me informed. With a form email that included their own come-on, of course.

The poor spelling and grammar alone should be enough to set alarm bells ringing for most people :/

Honestly. It's probably written by some person in Nigeria or India, somebody who really needs the job and may have no clue what they're part of, which makes me sad.
