Spam likes
-
I’m getting a TON of spam likes. I’m unable to block these people because they technically don’t even have a website. You click on it and nothing happens. It’s getting progressively worse each day. Its always some version of http://www.sexy.something
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am also experiencing this issue and several of the followers at my group are also experiencing the same issue.

I have had the same problem and put a post out this morning as it was not just my site but also on comments I had made.
This is my post if it helps -
I’m getting these same “likes” on my posts as well. How can I blog and “like” that starts with “www.sexy”?

For what it’s worth – since nothing seems to have been done about it, thus far – I have also gotten several likes by sexy._____ (the later part varies) on several of my comments.

There is an existing thread you ought to be posting into if this is a Russian bot issue https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/like-spam-from-russian-spammers?replies=19

Hi everyone,
We are aware of the issue and working on getting these spam likes blocked. Please subscribe to the thread @timethief linked to above for any updates on the issue.
Note that adding an IP address to your comment blacklist won’t prevent anyone from liking your comments. That only blocks someone from leaving an actual comment, and as IP addresses are not unique to individual internet users blacklisting an IP can also prevent actual people from commenting on your site, so we don’t recommend it.
