Trackback Spam from Best Western?

I have long been pleased that most of my Comment and Trackback spam has not been from legitimate companies but from your usual run of the mill slimeballs. I'm fearful that this is about to change.  For the past few days, I have had several Best Western Hotel Messages inappropriately attached to this blog apparently by Best Western Hotels.

I sincerely help that this is being done, not by the chain itself, but by some subcontractor who is running amuck and needs to be hauled in. I hope that hauling comes soon.  If legitimate companies start stooping to littering the blogosphere with unwanted and ineffective crap, it will be a sorry day indeed.

Is it just me, or are others of you having similar experiences?

the most prominent the company, the easier it is to sue them. So I don't think it will become a trend.

I force all Trackbacks into moderation and that alone appears to throttle all spamming.

I have a post that mentioned Holiday Inn, it constantly gets Holiday Inn related TB spam. None of it ever sees the light of day, but it looks to be associated with a hotel booking site and not Holiday Inn corporate.
