Sadly, I imagine so. I almost didn't do it, and I probably should have gone to look (I have a few times). I actually run into more of these kinds of comments on other people's posts than I do mine.

In this case, I felt I'd give the benefit of the doubt and at least provide an opportunity to do something more than just spam and scam. Some people genuinely don't know any better, and when English may very well be their second language, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes. :)

I appreciate the heads up, though, even if I probably won't see them anywhere again.

I have a little response made up with explaining that their comments look like spam and what happens to spammers and it has 3 links to posts which explain how to be successful on this platform. this kind of comment - unless it is from a friend - is usually spam :(

I like that approach, especially if it's under the radar of the spam police. There's some people here who have a hard time differentiating between what is spam, and an autoresponse, or a canned message meant to be used more than once.

An automatic downvote for me, at least the first time out, seems like a waste of voting power, just like an upvote in this case was. Still, by virtue of the fact that I did reply (even though they apparently won't be), I got more engagement off of one comment than I got most of all of last week. Maybe I should do it more. :)

hahaha - true :) When I see a comment that looks like spam - I look at their profile and see what they are doing. A lot of newcomers just don't know and then, I can help them. And the others don't care.
I don't downvote people, I use all the voting power I have to reward people who do well in my eyes - and I never have enough. 
But if it looks like they are trying to get people to click on links which could harm them, I report them to steemcleaners.

Here is the response I give - you are welcome to use it

> Your comment looks a lot like spam and people on this platform do not like this. Actually, some of the bigger accounts might downvote you to a point where you are not visible anymore. Here are three good articles which will help you to be successful on this platform.
