  Hi folks,
  I just had four followers sign to my blog (http://sciencefiles.org) and I suspect its junk, cause they all appear to originate of the same “outlook.com” account. As I am not particularly keen of such followers, I would appreciate it if you were to look into it and help me get rid of this pests.
  Thanks,
  Michael
