Hello Supporters..

i got 6 different E-Mail-Subscriptions in 4 ours from the same E-Mail-Domain “@xlxe.pl” in my German Language Blog.

So i don’t believe that this Mailaccounts are real Persons, because
a) The Names are not real (i.e “alakampozyczk”, “japaimeroki”, “kurmmojeplecym”)
b) Polish People cannot read German
c) all Subrcribers from Domain xlxe.pl

–> so it must be Spam

Problem is: There is no possibility to edit E-Mail-Followers by Admin (myself).

What can i do to prevent Spam-Subscribers?

Best Regards, Peter

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,

My wordpress blog is forelleundaesche.com

I also got an email subscription from
Username: alakampozyczka
Domain: @xlxe.pl

A search on the internet produces a few results on http://www.stopforumspam.com highlighting emails originating from this Polish domain.

My biggest concern comes from this homepage http://www.averscanner.com/scan/81/protector-xlxe-exe.shtml

which states that: The file PROTECTOR-XLXE.EXE is identified as the Trojan Program that is used for stealing bank information and users passwords.

Could you please look into this and advise how I should proceed?

Thanks and best regards
Tankred

If your site is public, then anyone can follow your blog. You cannot control who is following you. See this thread with much discussion on this topic:

From my first link above:

If the suspect followers are indeed WordPress.com users, please visit their blog via one of the links in the notification email.

If it’s a spam blog, please report it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/

This will shut down their account (pending approval of the report), and it also has the added benefit of determining if it really is a fake follower or a legitimate follower who just has a lousy account name.
