Hi richardson4lisa, it looks like you are using WordPress but you are not hosted here at WordPress.com.
These forums are for WordPress.com websites hosted here at WordPress.com. For self-hosted WordPress.org websites, such as yours, I would suggest asking for help in the volunteer-based WordPress.org forumshttps://wordpress.org/support/.
Difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

Hi there,
On what site(s) is your comments getting spammed? If it’s on WordPress.com sites, it’s possible Akismet is blocking your comments by mistake. Please contact Akismet support directly for help with that:
I think it’s pretty safe to assume someone won’t be reporting their comments being spammed on their own site. If someone’s comments are being spammed on WordPress.com sites, it’s a WordPress.com issue, regardless of where the person’s own site is hosted.

If you’re unsure it’s never a bad idea to ask clarifying questions. That rather than guessing :)

The anit spam plugin wasn’t compatible with Jetpack. I had to uncheck the comments box in Jetpack and that fixed it.
