I have been contacted by an account that I think is in the process of trying to scam me (and maybe others). How do I go about reporting it so that it can be checked out?
Thanks for taking the time to put this on the discussion. I had no idea how to do this after a long time at WA. You live and learn!
You can report any content in WA by clicking on the downward arrow next to a message or comment. You can report blog posts the same way, except it might be a settings icon there. You can report sites in Site Comments and Site Feedback too.
I would only personally message Kyle if it needs explaining. The reporting button is there for a reason :)
Thanks for the advice, it is something that I will bear in mind for the future.

Sorry to hear about the possibility of being scammed by a WA member. Since this is a huge community, it wouldn't surprise me if scammers showed up here. I hope you get that taken care off.
Hi - I received an unsolicited message today from another member, "offering" me an opportunity. I warned him he couldn't do that. He is relatively new but already has a network of over 500. I will mention it to Kyle.
Report to Kyle/Carson but try Support first as K & C are probably asleep right now in Canada.

hey hi Adrian!
yes, helpful of you to be vigilant -- looks like a good discussion thread here .... simply report anything untoward by clicking on the slight greyed down arrow at the upper top right on any of these lil' comment/reply boxes ...
sometimes a screenshot of it also helps -- as they say a 'picture is worth a thousand words' ...
keep well, keep happy! .... :)
All good advice, thanks. Fortunately after some checking it was just a case of mistaken identity and is now happily resolved.

WA provides all the training you need. I receive calls from strangers telling me that my PC has a virus and that they can help me resolve it if I give them access to my computer.
I have a MAC and use an MacOS system.
Never let strangers have access to your computer ever. If you initiate the dialog with Microsoft or Apple technicians to help you resolve an issue, it is OK to give them access.
Just be careful OK?
Cheers.

Thanks,
Although they were not requesting access to my PC, and if they had they were less than unlikely to get it, your point is still very valid.

Yes, I get plenty of these. They are just trying to sell you SEO that you can do better yourself or paid advertising. Their free report will be just boilerplate that they've inserted your site name into to make you believe that it's personalized.
It just does not sound legit. I certainly would not go there. Don't know if it is the same company because there are so many of them.
Top 10 Digital Marketing Scams Targeting Your Small ...
Hi,
They are Selling their own seo techniques. I have had them before.
Oh and one company in North Yorkshire Leeds UK to be exact sell the Google My business to you and the job they do is rubbish.
They come under as a digital marketing company.
So in all essence the email may look cool but is it really.
(Back to the recent Emails I have had. )
This email said I am getting no visitors etc. I should be using google my business. (It was for my local site.)
My reply to him was.
My analytics in Google my Business and Bing my business and Google analytics says other wise. He was a Spam emailer looking further into it he was from India. No offence to India or it's people. . He Never came back to me thank goodness.
If you are using contact form 7 then Glen has just written a post on this to add in Captcha hope that helps. Contact Form 7 SPAM Problem Eliminated Debs :)
Possibly...or just trying to sell their product. I get these offers often, too, and ignore them.
Spammers!
If it isn't SEO, then it is organic traffic or backlinks. I get them all the time. So I just delete.
More SPAMMY than scammy. It depends on what they ask for from you...If they want access to your site, that's a red flag. If they simply say, you can increase your SEO rating by taking steps x, y and z and we can help then it's more of a sales pitch.
Sounds fishy! But we don't know this company. We will be keeping a close eye to see what the more experienced members have to say.
Good luck!

Does anyone know how to link woodropshipping to woocommerece within WA?
You need to download the plugin to your website and if don’t have your Key, contact woodropshipping and they will help you and just remember if your site here at WA is php 5.6 you won’t be able to connect it, you will need php 7.2 in order to use this plugin,
The issue actually turned out to be a code 7 restriction, but was quickly resolved at WA once I could provide them with that info.
it looks like you need to have a woodropshipping account and link with reference to this doc
https://support.woodropship.com/en-us/article/connecting-your-woocommerce-store-to-woodropship-1ej8s3t/
good luck

Have you managed to connect using this? As I keep getting a cURL could not connect to host message and if I want to use the manual method I can't find the API tag in my woocommerce
with a curl error - contact site support - it is to do with the security policies and they will add it to their growing list of allowables.
good luck- i don't have woodropshipping but saw how to do it

I have loaded the Woocommerce plug in and added the Woodropshippng subscription, how do I activate the subscription
Hi Adrian,
I was interested in this feature too and as Triblu suggested there are several helpful YouTube videos covering the product and how to get started. I hope that helps.
Wayne
Hey Adrain,
If Woodropshipping is the name of your plugin, you could Google search "Woodropshipping plugin how to activate" (without the quotation marks, of course) and most likely find videos and/or documentation to assist you.
Hope you find this helpful.
Thanks for that, and sorry about the delay in coming back to you.
The problem was that there is a distinct lack of advice available anywhere specific to woodropship and WA. There are scraps but very poorly delivered.
No matter I have been missing for the last few days liaising between various site supports and eventually got (most) the issues resolved. Not only have I got my store up and running, but I am seriously thinking about producing my first training post, to guide anyone else who finds themselves stuck.

there a plug-in that makes downloading to instagram, that isn't like trying to decode a Raiders of the Lost Ark cryptic map?
You can use Tailwind for posting to Pinterest and Instagram. To Instagram you can post a picture and link to your post
Hey Adrian. Are you asking if you can download something to Instagram, or how to download Instagram?
Chuck
Hello Adrian -
There is a plugin for Instagram but, I'm not sure of your question. Maybe I'm just missing something? If you can clarify a little bit.
I am sory, I am trying to post my articles to Instagram on my laptop but don't sem to be able to find a plug-in that wil do this
You mean download to your mobile? If so you look for ap in your play store or ap store and download from there. However, on pc you can just Google it and register for an account.
Register for what? An Instagram acc? already have one but it will not let me post to it.
