  I received a pingback notification, except when I clicked in the link my whole article is listed on the other site not just a reference or link. Is this normal? Like on that page it appears as if I wrote my article for that page, there’s no reference back to my blog or anything.

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

  No that’s not normal. That is content theft. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/content-theft-what-to-do/

  Thanks Timethief- if I click the trash or spam button in my notification will that delete the connection? I’m going to follow the steps in the link you provided to get the post taken down. I’m pretty new to his blog thing but I knew it looked really suspicious.

  Yes, it will delete the connection but not the content.
