What is traffic.camp and why am I seeing i?
-
Yesterday, I posted a new blog post to my site. Later, I went to see how the traffic is going in WordPress.com’s stats. In Referrals, I notice a new entry that I’ve never seen. It’s called “traffic.camp”. What is that?
This morning, it’s still there and a couple of new visits, today. I clicked on the link to see who it is. It seems a site called Simple Traffic. I never signed up for that service. I did some research and it’s not listed as a scam. What should I do? Is it something I should be concerned about?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That looks like referrer spam, basically like comment or email spam, but for stats. In short, a bot (or compromised browser) visited and falsified the referrer, hoping you’d check it out.
Your can mark that referrer as spam, preventing it from appearing again, by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/stats/#marking-spam-referrers

That’s a first and thanks for the info. I marked it, as a spam and it’s totally removed.
