There is no security risk here, to you or to you blog. It’s just an annoyance we are enduring. These spam referrers do not in any way affect your blog’s Google page ranking.
1. Do not click the links.
2. Do not post the URL or names of the site into forum threads.
3. Please read the sticky post at the head of this forum. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/regarding-referrer-spam?replies=1

I attempted to send the website a cease and desist letter but their contact form is "broken." This is irritating because it means that I have to subtract my spam views from my actual views to see how many views I have. Is there any way to prevent this site from spamming me?
