Hi there,

I am only seeing one recent post from https://gumshoenews.com/. When you say hijacked, what exactly are you referring to? A flooding of comment posts from that particular site?

Hi @kaiwanshou,

It looks like you have previously commented on this post: http://gumshoenews.com/2021/10/06/complaint-made-to-police-about-victorias-chief-health-officer/#comment-127743

Are you referring to notifications for following post comments? If yes, you can unsubscribe from Gumshoe News here: https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?option=comments

If you would still like to share a screenshot, here’s how: https://wordpress.com/support/make-a-screenshot/

You can upload the screenshot to https://snipboard.io/ and then share the link in your next reply.

Hi,
Thank you for your responses, however, one I got doesn’t make sense:
“Are you referring to notifications for following post comments? If yes, you can unsubscribe from Gumshoe News here: https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?option=comments”
Where in the url “https://subscribe.wordpress.com” mentions “Gumshoe News”?
I want to get Gumshoe News to stop hijacking the alerts I’m subscribed to via “https://subscribe.wordpress.com” because I’m not getting all of the latest news from my subscription via “https://subscribe.wordpress.com” due to the Gumshoe News hijack. Gumshoe News decides what subscription updates they/it decides what I can get.
I’ve tried to contact all the sites I’m subscribed to to get direct updates but they all use https://subscribe.wordpress.com = Catch 22!
How do I Gumshoe News to stop hijacking my “https://subscribe.wordpress.com” subscription updates???
Has Gumshoe News hacked https://subscribe.wordpress.com???

We’ve reviewed the email notifications sent to you from WordPress.com, and I don’t see any recent emails coming from the site https://gumshoenews.com.

I can see you are subscribed to comments on one of their articles; you can unsubscribe from there using the link that my colleague shared above:

Status

Find the comment on Gumshoe News and click Unsubscribe.

If that doesn’t help, please add a screenshot of what you see on your end so we can understand better. You can use an online tool for that (such as https://snipboard.io/) and paste the link into your reply.
