Nicole is still active on here, I see. Thanks to everyone who reports her so we can squash the accounts before they bother yet more people.

What? I don't want a YETI.

I love how email spammer/fishers believe everyone buys Norton products, which no one ever does.

Ich halte solche Spendenaufrufe für hochgradig unseriös, ich rechne mit #Betrug. Der Bot erbittet mit Hilfe impliziter Beschämung Spenden für eine vorgebliche notleidende Person. Hierbei ist auch nicht sofort zu erkennen, dass die persönliche Ansprache in Wahrheit durch einen Bot erfolgt. Es kann nicht verifiziert werden, wer oder was tatsächlich dahintersteckt. (Der Bot-Kommentar war öffentlich.) #scam #spam #emotionaleErpressung

Spammers and scammers seem to be constantly surprised that all new Keila subscriptions are manually reviewed. Turns out: #Meta isn’t using an 8€/month plan to send support emails.

I deleted and refunded the account before they managed to send a single email.

Today's #SpammerDuJour is... someone...

Maybe someone named Marioli Samuel (strikes me as W. African) or maybe someone named "Dr. Rose James" who has a UK phone number. Both with GMail addresses, claiming to represent "European Investment Bank in Luxembourg and the IMF" It is, of course, a #419 scam promising a large payment.

Writing in Cyrillic script, so it is either Russian or Ukrainian. MacOS translate yields the same English whichever source language I tell it. No clue why.

Blocked another Fediverse chick bot this morning.

New spam account from Nicole

preprocessor54@mastodon.economiasocial.org

A work client started getting hit last week with a tsunami of Russian spam in the comments of their WordPress site.

The volume of comment notifications is proving an unfortunate hassle.

Can anything be done pre-emptively to head off the spam? (Is there anything like shared IP blocklists in the WP community?)

If anyone knows of an effective fix, please let me know. Thank you!

I have suspended the account

Ich habe vorhin das tatsächlich erste Mal #Spam per #Signal bekommen.

Nein mich wollte niemand in eine Geheimdienst Besprechung einladen sondern irgend so eine obskure Butze wollte mit mir über Aktien oder Kryptomist sprechen. Welch großartige Chance doch gerade entstehen.

Drecksbande, gleich als Spam gemeldet, geblockt und gelöscht.
Mal sehen ob es hilft?

Today's #SpammerDuJour is Christina Hines, the spammer running for the Democratic Party nomination in my Congressional district, #MI10.

This isn't #email #spam, but rather mobile messaging spam, sending out a full body shot and an appeal for money. This is the second such event for me from #MIDEMS and it is not a welcome one. I will be giving them absolutely no money this cycle.

Somebody, somewhere must occasionally still be falling for the .cn domain name scam, one from simon@netdomains.net.cn inboxed here today.
