  Hi there,

  I don’t see any sites in your account. What is the URL of the site where you received the spam comments?

  All WordPress.com have automatic spam filtering provided by Akismet, but if you have a self-hosted site using the WordPress.org software you’ll need to install a plugin to help you fight spam on your site. Any spam that is already on your self-hosted site will have to be deleted manually – spam filters only work if they can stop spam before it’s posted, not after.

  You can find out more about the Akismet plugin here:
