  Hello, there are a few options for you to combat spam.
  If you go to Settings/Discussion and look in the Comment Moderation section you will find an area to enter a list of blacklisted words. If any of them appear anywhere in the comment it will be held for moderation. You could add iframe-toloka to the list.
  There is also a very popular plugin called Stop Spammers that many users have had success with. It is available here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/

  Hi there,

  Where exactly are you receiving these? I don’t see any comments in the spam, or any other folder on your site, from that domain.
