   Hello! I would like to report a scam has been posted in my POST! It was not a comment - that was a real post where someone has written as if it was ME!!!
   This is so strange - I always premoderate the comments on my blog but someone posting the post when it`s not allowed - how is it possible?
   Look at this post? please - this is an advertisement Ive never posted (really, I dont even post advertisement and the theme of the post is not of my blog).

   "Sweet, my opinion is worth MONEY!!

   So far, I've made $843 just by doing surveys :)"

   The scam post is here http://inyazserg.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/sweet-my-opinion-is-worth-money/

   Lots of people are reporting the same thing.

   1) change your EMAIL password

   2) change your BLOG password

   Make them both different, LONG and secure with numbers and symbols as well as letters. The longer the better.
