  I’m sorry but we Volunteers answering forum questions have no way if determining whether or not the user(s) who clicked the like button on your posts sincerely liked them or not.

  I’ve received the same–from Sweden and Russia–on both of my blogs, in the past couple of days. I’ve contacted support. I think I’d like to be rid of the ‘like” button.

  You can get rid of the Like button via Settings -> Sharing in your blog’s Dashboard by unchecking “Show a like button and who has liked my post on all of my blog posts above the comments section.”

  Thanks–that worked. I hadn’t yet tracked down that option in the Dashboard.
