I thank you all for your feedback.
I never answered anyone's invitation.
I also get spam as comments on old posts. Akismet usually catches it and I am ok.
Recently - same day as my other problem, I recieved 3 emails (spam comments) to my
personal address. But when I logged onto WordPress there were no indications of these
comments - strange.
Barry from Tech support said he was looking into it and it is resolved for me. But I was
wondering if anyone else had similar problems - it seems like the answer is no.
Thanks again though for you help.

What I'm getting recently is spam masquerading as comments on very old blog posts that I did not close the comments on. But I remember the post rain is referring to. I couldn't find the thread in the search box so maybe it was one of those cases of someone going off topic and the thread not being titled and tagged for off-topic retrieval. I'm also sure it took intervention by sysadmin to figure it out and put an end to it.

I vaguely remember something like this from back maybe three months ago, but can't find it anywhere. The fellow signed in and was taken to the dashboard for a completely different blog, one he didn't like and hadn't seen before.

If someone invites you to join a blog it will show up on your dashboard.

trusting my dashboard or my tool bar at this point. My problem is that I have a list of
10 wordpress.com sites listing under My Dashboard and New Post. They are NOT mine. They all
seem to relate to Rhode Island and seems spam-like. Anyone else having this problem or
am I the only one. I have not heard back from customer support so I am concerned. Any details
you can supply would be great.
Thanks
(If need be I was able to copy the sites but won't give them the satisfaction of listing
them here.)
