  Hi,

  Within the past few hours I have had 3 “people” who are following my blog. Always nice but instead of names they are using outlook.com addresses as their name.
  For example the following blog Email to me would say “(email visible only to moderators and staff) is now following your blog” [the Email address I put is fake but for example purposes]. They are following but have yet to comment or anything.
  Should I be suspicious?

  Thanks

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

  We just went over this problem in the Weird Followers thread. I deleted them.
