I just go in about once a week and delete the whole works. Those hundreds of thousands of dollars a year jobs are probably by the same folks that years ago ran magazine ads that claimed you could get rich by stuffing envelopes!! You have to wonder why they bother, except that P. T. Barnum was right - there is a sucker born every minute.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-49357395854794602692014-05-28T00:03:03.198-05:002014-05-28T00:03:03.198-05:00It happens everywhere, I reckon.

I keep getting emails supposedly from people who saw my resume on careerbuilder.com (though I never sent them one) that have the same sort of word usage and typos in those scams from Nigeria. It's all that I can do not to check out those jobs that pay hundreds of thousands a year for part-time work! lolGorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-63122546840074851742014-05-27T22:37:42.421-05:002014-05-27T22:37:42.421-05:00Rob...Some time back I was getting 30-40 per day. ...Rob...Some time back I was getting 30-40 per day. I just deleted them. Now it's down to two or three per week. I don't know for sure, but I think if you acknowledge them in any way, they just keep on. Ignored, they seem to go away, at least for now!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-53248036297318641422014-05-27T22:13:48.491-05:002014-05-27T22:13:48.491-05:00I am getting around 11 spam a day.

I...I don't have any words of wisdom, Harry. I'm not all that well versed on how Blogger works, and as you can see, I keep it simple. The idiotic comments like these two wind up in the Spam file under "Comments" on the page where you look up statistics. I just check that file maybe once a week and delete whatever is there. I don't think it matters what you do - spammers are going to try. It is easier for me to just delete than to get my knickers in a knot over it.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-92153880225307469762014-05-27T19:07:50.720-05:002014-05-27T19:07:50.720-05:00I have tried and tried to get rid of that kind of ...I have tried and tried to get rid of that kind of spam. I tried the "verification" thing and still got spam. I tried comment approval and just had to delete all the spam anyway.
