I too getting spam comments. They are not given by real persons. They are given by online bot backlink generators. Akismet is very good in blocking those.
If you pay any scam company some good amount for say, 1000 backlinks, then they target unprotected blogs by commenting through bots.
You may use captcha for preventing bot comments.
