What your report is common. That is spam so mark it as spam rather than deleting it.

You are welcome.

re: spam

Over 80% 0f all so-called comments submitted to wordpress.COM hosted blogs every day are spam. That’s not surprising given that the vast and overwhelming majority of all internet communication is spam. We cannot disable Akismet on wordpress.COM hosted blogs and that’s very good thing. The spam we are not sent for review contains malware and viruses and if opened would bring down many sites, not just our own site.

Be aware also that setting up anonymous commenting is akin to throwing down a welcome mat to every spammer and phisher out there. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation

This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.

Discussion Settings
Other comment settings
_Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
_Users must be registered and logged in to comment

Note that the prompt to submit and email address and a website URL will still appear, but providing an email address and logging in are not required, and you cannot change this so the prompt does not appear.

You can post instructions for your visitors in a text widget if you wish to set up anonymous commenting. That’s easy to do. You copy and paste this into a text widget: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

Readers: Note that the email address and logging in prompts do appear for comments on this blog, but providing an email address and logging in are not required.
