Going to cover this so that hopefully if your blog or site or email has been spammed, you’ll get the answers you need. I recently discovered someone in a forum asking if their site had been spammed by Tiffany Dow yet. I can only see a cached version of the site for some reason, but it’s a live site so I’m not sure if Chrome is messing with me – I’d love to log in and reassure this person.

Then today – not sure if this was the same person or a new one – I got a threatening email from someone who said I had spammed his or her site repeatedly and they wanted revenge.

So let’s cover this, shall we?

1. I don’t spam. Ever. Period. End of story. I think spammers are scum suckers. I’m not a millionaire – but I bet I would be if I’d embrace this type of behavior!

2. If you are saying something like those people did, such as “so tired of her being hypocritical and teaching one thing and doing another,” ask yourself for an alternative possibility - like the fact that you’re wrong.

3. That alternative possibility is that someone is spamming and representing themselves AS me. Ohhh shiver – I know – it’s like an after school special, isn’t it? But unfortunately, hiding behind a computer screen, lots of weenies have bigger balls than they should – and they’re enlisting the 2 year old tactics (and by 2 I mean age of the person, not the strategy) to try to bully me back for being vocal against scummy people and scummy marketing methods.

Being vocal puts a target on your back – ever watched Big Brother? Anyway, it pisses people off – and I’ve obviously pissed off one or two eggheads. So they decided to get revenge by ruining my reputation, and making other IMers mad by thinking I was spamming them.

4. I don’t buy backlinks to people’s blogs. I only ever bought backlinks during a BTF review and it was a step in the review, but it bought profile listings on forums only – NO blog posts. I got an exact copy of where the profiles were created. No spam was ever posted IN the forums either – just a profile created, period. (I say this because others in the forum thought I should be careful who I buy backlinks from – I don’t – not even the profile creations! What a waste of money! It was during that review of BTF only).

5. There are some real assholes out there. I’m not one of them – unless you make me mad first. And online, people tend to jump to conclusions before they have facts (act now, get the truth later). But you have to slow down and simply…oh I don’t know…ASK the person you’re angry at before you start threatening and complaining about them.

Someone said these were spun articles pointing to my own domain. Others said they were probably using a tool called Scrape Box. I don’t know who it is or why they’re doing it. But it’s not me.

6. If you choose to ignore my facts and believe it’s me anyway, then there’s nothing I can do for you. I have no magic wand to make it stop – so track down the person’s IP or something. Be a little resourceful. Because it’s not me, but someone’s pissing you off – so you oughta find out who the real culprit it!

7. If I can help you in any way, like direct you to the Internet Crime Complaint Center which HANDLES Spam complaints - I urge you to do so! In fact, I encourage you to submit those spam issues there and let the FBI handle it! Since I know it’s not me, I have nothing to fear. But the real culprit will.
