  I am getting a lot of new followers and don’t see them hitting my blog. Can this be some kind of new scam or phishing.

  I think these are the followers you are referring to, right?

  As we have a 2-step process to subscribe via email (1-sign up and 2-confirmation link in an email), it’s strange to see that these got through.

  I’m going to have one of our developers take a closer look to see what is going on here and I’ll get back to you once I have more information.

  yes, I know some are legit especially up to 5 months ago but lately it’s like a lot everyday. I do like traffic but not sure where they are coming from.

  Thanks
