Ok, so I found something really weird while looking into our friend JA of pizza fame. He seems to have had a myspace acct at some point and it's been completely scrubbed. So I started searching through other social media. Using the search string 'jimmycomet grindr' I came across something very out of place on page 6 using Bing. Why would an obscure auto parts store in South El Monte, Ca have a ton of reviews all dated Oct 13, 2016 and seemingly filled with gibberish? Because it isn't gibberish. It's coded communication for something illicit.
If you look at the first few words of every review it is clear they are discussing something and hiding it in spam. I'm not exactly sure if it's about drugs or something pizza related although I do suspect it's a communication channel for cp. There are 3 references to 'manforce' which turns up some interesting results: Malaysia job sourcing company, Indian condom manufacturer and a impotency drug And also a reference to grindr and tinder but I don't know if that is just more of the copy/paste spam used to hide their real conversations. 'Jimmy' and 'comet' turn up in a text search but that seems to be purely coincidental.
What are 'First class stamps'? Talk of PIN numbers, micro-coupon card....lots of weird shit that stands out from the copy/paste spam.
Can anyone decipher this shit? I couldn't find any other reviews on this site but it is a very clever way to communicate out in the open.

Spammers have been using gibberish to hide coded messages for a while. It's something my friends and I discussed years back. We thought that perhaps they massed spammed messages to hit the one person it was meant for and to decode and came up with all sorts of odd scenarios.
In the real world however, often times they use this tactic to evade spam filters. It doesn't mean something nefarious isn't going on, but it doesn't necessarily mean something is. Just some food for thought to keep in mind when you come across gibberish spam mail.
