Your Online Wicca and Magickal Education Source

It seems we have been invaded.

I got an email this morning about a post to my profile. Obviously a scam of some sort and in my case not well targeted. I was wondering what the proceedure is to rid our sites of this kind of nonsense.

The post went like this:

She has been removed this morning. We have an open enrollment on this site, meaning you can sign up without being approved. This is the way we would like to keep it, so people don't have to answer a lot of questions just to get approved for membership. This has worked for us so far with a few exceptions. Usually someone such as yourself lets us know when we have a new troll immediately, and we then remove them. This is a small price we pay for having an open site. Thanks for your understanding, we are not a dating site. If you have anything like this happen in future, please don't hesitate to contact us.

In the lower right corner of this website is a "Report an Issue" link. I used it yesterday and someone removed the spammer in just minutes.

Unfortunately they come back in with a different email sometimes. Yahoo will evidently let you sign up on their site for endless emails. Thanks for continuing to let me know about these people.

I - and many others, I've seen - have gotten a similar one, advertising someone named Victoria. I suppose it's the same thing, perhaps the same person.

I hope that nobody has fallen for whatever scam this is, and that this harms no one.

Blessed Be,
