  Hi @ominsieme

  I have hard time to understand your question.
  May I ask which website you need help with if there’s specific page you can mention?

  @pellowahitalia I can see your contact form has had several emails over the past week. Please confirm whether that is the issue; if it is we’ll have you send in some samples so we can take a look.

  Also I noticed your site lists just your email address. Please consider removing that so spammers won’t exploit it.

  @sight11 you posted on an unrelated thread; I’d encourage you to start your own at http://wordpress.com/help/contact

  You might also just get in touch with Akismet directly:

  Type “spam” in the search box, you’ll see instructions on how to get in touch.

  @supernovia,
  Hi thanks, yes that was the issue. I took the contact off because of that reason. Any recommendation?

  Go ahead and put the form back. If you get more spam we’ll have you send current samples.

  Hi sSupernovia.

  Thanks for your support.I will. The fact is that the spam didn’t stop during this period without the contact form ..
  I will send you some example

  @ominsieme if the spam didn’t stop without the contact form, it likely is not coming through that.

  If you’ve published your email address the whole time thats probably why you’re getting spammed (that’s why we recommend contact forms).

  I’ll email anyhow to see if we can help you sort it out.
