I thought I?d written about this once before and posted it, but now I can?t find the post. Not sure if that?s a problem with my memory or the search function on my blogs. If this does happen to be a repeat though, please excuse the repetition because I?m still having the problem and still looking for an answer.
For the past few days now I?ve been receiving more and more comments on my WordPress sites like the one above. What?s weird is I only get the notification via e-mail for comment approval, but when I go into the Admin for WordPress, there?s no trace of the comment anywhere. Not even in the Akismet Spam folder.
At first I didn?t think about this being anything other than annoying. When I asked Douglas Karr about it though he wondered if perhaps they were legitimate comments from readers that were getting stripped and deleted. That would really stink!
And here we are wondering what the problem is still with no answer. Anyone else that might have an idea, please let me know. And, if you?ve left a comment and it hasn?t been posted, let me know about that as well.

I don’t get a lot of comments on my site, but just about all of them are spam anyway. I was noticing a lot of redirect hits on one of my sites, but it appears an update of the CMS fixed that problem. In other words, look at your logs, it could be a ‘bot hitting your site and doing a bit of mysql injecting.
Matt you’re not helping!
I found your original post on this:

I have been having the same problem and it’s really driving me crazy. I have been searching on the support forums at WordPress but no one really knows how to fix it.
I even tried to get my host to help me but they had no idea really and kind of gave up. *sigh*
Hopefully we will solve this. I also know for a fact some comments have been from real people because they let me know. I hate the idea of loosing comments, and wonder what people may have said. :/
Hi
I get these regularly from several of my blogs (all up to date)
This is about the only thread I’ve found talking about the problem
