Hi Jenna,

I got many like this with different names but the content is the same it’s just spam, I deleted it. It’s annoying to get them everyday, I hate it. Mine came through WP form, I deleted that even comments still they come through. It’s a big problem. Spam and scammers come through all the time even with anti spam plug in they still weasel through. It pisses me off. I tried everything to stop it, nothing works. Just have to delete and clean it up every time. Annoying process. No amount of kvetching from me will do anything to stop it.

Oh wow! Thank you, Brenda!

Lots of Love!
Aloha, Jenna

Hi Jenna,

In the future remember your hosting is through Site Rubix and Carson and Kyle have your email address and would never contact you through your website, but rather directly through your email address on file in your profile.

The scammers are getting smarter! We have to remain diligent in our fight against them. Please make sure to report them, so that others might not be faced with the same situation you had to endure.

Have a great day,

Calvin

Yes. Thank you, Calvin! Think will go with Teatske's suggestion and report them to the Consumer Protection Office.

Aloha, Jenna

Hello Jenna, it's good to warn others about the scam but I would recommend that you remove the content (links) from your blog post to protect other members from getting scammed here at WA by clicking on the links.

Thank you for your suggestion, Dale. I just added the phrase, not to click on anything, at the beginning of the post.

I will report it to the Consumer Protection Office.

Aloha, Jenna

A very common scam! Sadly, some will fall for it

I advise you to block the IP adress in your WordPress dashboard.

I recommend you only ever block an IP address if you are receiving an attack (hacking attempt) from an IP, or consistent abuse. Blocking an IP address should always be reserved as a very last resort because in the instance of a user using a dynamic IP, it can result in blocking out genuine users.
