  I do not get any warning from mywot.com so it’s a safe site, also i have just been to it and it’s a site that buy’s groupon deal’s and then trie’s to sell them on, see below

  You must have posted something to do with cooking so they picked you up.

  Spam and Trash are not the same. If, for example, you create draft post and later decide it’s not worthy of publication then you send it to Trash. What you received was “spam”. Unless you mark these as “spam” then Akismet (spam filter) cannot learn that they are spam and will not sequester them as spam.
