  Dear Sirs,
  I believe AFreePLRArticle, Self Development, Family Today and doyoganow are all spam (I deleted them as followers, but they keep on following and they are all referring to the same website)

  Can you check and stop them? Thank you

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

  Hi @maryzzz, I removed your links to the potential spam articles, since if they are spam we wouldn’t want to promote them more.

  Would you be willing to let the spammers follow again, then leave them there and update us here so we can check on their accounts?

  Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the spammer is now following my blog (https://shapeofclouds.wordpress.com/blog/) with his Family Today
  Family PLR blog – @familyplrga (sorry if I copy the title, but I just want to make clear who is the spammer). I just let him there as you told me.
  I also received an e-mail informing that A NewsTravelAndSport is following (same spammer!) but I don’t find it within the list of my followers now.
  It seems like each time I delete him as a follower, the more it reappears following me with one of his websites..

  Okay, we’re investigating that one. For now, though, please do stop deleting suspected spam followers for a few days, then respond back with a list of usernames you’d like us to check on.

  I’m not sure I understand, I do not see any of the suspected accounts following your blog currently, can you specify which user did you mean?

  It seems like all these blogs are just the same and each time I delete one follower, another one appears

  Thanks for the list, I had a look and passed those to our Terms of Service team, they’ll review them and take action if needed.
