  Hello. I wonder if you could help me figure something out. I have noticed in the last 8 or so days that I am getting a string of Followers with a domain that ends in “????@femail.com” Do you have any idea what this is? I have tried typing this into google and can find nothing at all. It seems odd that they are all together too.

  The blog they are following is http://theinflectionist.com

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello Theinflectionist,

  I do not know anything personally about (http://femail.com/) but if that is the correct domain I did have it scanned by VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/eecb3ee9bbf8bd04eb99c25b0baf23ddf5ebdd341c13b2a9ca08a88c62ee33d1/analysis/), URLVoid (http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/femail.com/), Zscaler Zulu URL Risk Analyser (http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/070183438513d7fb7fe0b0371cc100bf-1419557284), Sucuri SiteCheck (http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/femail.com), and Quttera (http://quttera.com/detailed_report/femail.com); and that domain redirects to:

  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/index.html

  “Femail: Femail is an extensive part of the Daily Mail’s newspaper and website, being one of four main features on Mail Online others being News, TV & Showbiz and Sport. It is designed for women.

  -(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mail)”

  And here is the WHOIS information for both domains:

  hi there timethief. thanks for this. It is interesting though, I wonder why there are a string of them suddenly. One of links must have ended up on one of these websites or something.

  Thanks so much.

  Hi again,
  They appear to be folks from the fashion websites I located in the Google search results. We cannot personally identify any followers. We cannot block or delete followers from public blogs, and I don’t see an issue here at all. So are you okay with this now?
