Incoming links coming from fake blog???
-
After several months, I’ve never seen an incoming link pop up until today. I clicked on it and it took me to a blog called “Walmart News”. walmart-drugs.org/news/ which is apparently the “news” page of walmart-drugs.org which is a online pharmacy.
It has one of my recent posts up in its entirety on the page. First, this is clearly a fake blog. It doesn’t seem to have any purpose. Is this some kind of phishing expedition? And two, how was my post re-posted on this site perfectly?
Maybe this is harmless, but it’s somewhat disconcerting. I don’t like that my content is being reposted elsewhere, even though the link are in tact. Anybody have any experience with this?

Here’s how to lodge a formal copyright complaint with the hosting provider:
Such complaints often succeed in shutting down the offending spam site, or at least forcing them to stop copying blog posts.

This happened to me too, with the same name. I thought it was a one off, but now I know what to do. Thanks tellyworth!

Actually, I looked at the incoming links again, and when I clicked there it said 404, not found. Maybe they’ve stopped, I don’t know
