How to stop spammers who are visiting my Waymarks

    How to stop spammers who are visiting my Waymarks

    Today I got the first visit to one of my WayMarks. At first I was all excited. Unfortunately it was a spammer. The two WayMarks that got spammed are these.  If  you look at the visit it is encrypted.

    I have posted the text of the spam mail below.

    "I want to buy the products you are selling

    I need your assistant to use the fund $34 US Dollars to purchase some product in your country, I am planning to relocate after my court case.

    My name is Henry Okah; I am a businessman, dealing on oil and gas across Africa before I was set up in frame up arm deal.

    See link: http://www.havocscope.com/news/2008/02/niger-delta-oil-militant-henry-okah/

    Please, I cannot come down to your country to sort out business myself because I am still place under house arrest with only 2-3 hours access to internet everyday.

    See the links: http://www.africanloft.com/henry-okah-the-guerrilla-entrepreneur-of-niger-delta/

    please I want you to use the fund to purchase your goods and keep it for me until my case is over, and use the remaining part of the fund on investment you feel like using the fund for is OK, so long its profitable to both of us. But, once I am through with my current case I shall definitely come over.

    See link: http://www.vanguardngr.com/content/view/17937/122/

    The government of Nigeria has frozen my asset and bank account, and investigation still going on to un covers others of my asset and bank account.

    See link: http://odili.net/news/source/2008/sep/20/5.html

    If you agree to the above, I shall issue out instruction to the lawyer who will help you to transfer the fund to your designated account with immediate effect for the purchase. It’s good you let me know how much you will want me to pay for the offer. I am looking forward for your kind understanding and cooperation. I am awaiting your response on this critical issue

    See link: http://www.saharareporters.com/www/report/detail/?id=548

    I shall send a phone number to you where we can talk via telephone.
