  Hi,

  I received an email from Mention that my name (Robin Taney) was mentioned at http://www.cheapbagsonline.me, which looks like it might be a self-hosted WordPress site. The site is just a bunch of gibberish, so I was wondering why someone would do this and if there’s anything I need to do to protect myself.

  Here’s a link to the page I was referencing: http://www.cheapbagsonline.me/moncler-for-sale-in-uk-its-any-personal-bank-affair.html

  Thanks!
  Robin

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

  That’s a spam referral. They link to you, click through it so you see it, then remove the link, all to get you to go check out their site. Just ignore it.
