  There was a spam email sent out from wordpress [redacted] site for a “cheap air cooler”.

  Could you make a screenshot of that email (and the info from where it was sent) and add it to your media library? We’ll be able to check it from there.

  Hi there,

  It looks like a blank post was published on 8/18 at 12:23pm. The site isn’t connected to a plan, so that ad is a normal ad that is used under email posts.

  The bigger issue for me is that post is blank. Were you in the process of working on a post and may have inadvertently published it? I’m not seeing any questionable activity coming from your account at the moment.

  Let me know, thanks!
