Other than AI content dominating the Internet, and loads and loads of tracking everywhere, I like where the Internet is now. I like that web tech evolved enough so we could do cool stuff on websites. But I also miss personal sites & blogs. 😩

Sequel to Spellscan? Spellingcheck/Spellhelper
Hey guys, remember when Spellscan tried to school me?
- No “Maria”, I did not. 👿 That’s how you spell “cron“, fffffs.
- I would take your two sites a lot more seriously if your email didn’t look like a carbon copy of Spellscan’s.
- Like, it makes you wonder. 🤔 Did Spellscan realize its jig was up and re-emerge under new names?
- No one’s talking about it right now, so it must be really new.
- First comment on this poor site—does “Maria Campbell” (if that’s even your real name 👿) have nothing better to do?
Sidenote: randomly found that “Spellscan” has an unofficial Twitter account. 🤩

SpellScan? Should be SpellScam
A few things about this:
- I should probably format these messages so they’re readable.
- No, I did not, “Beth”. 😤 That’s how you spell “cron”.
- This Spellscan site is a series of spam form submissions hitting sites lately. It made itself known to a few clients at work. If you get one of these, don’t go the spellscan site.
- The fact that it actually got through WPBruiser’s antispam checks tells me there are humans submitting these, and not bots. So if you mark it as spam, you might cause legit form submissions to go to spam as well. Which I’m pretty sure you don’t want.
Edit
More folks talking about Spellscam–I mean Spellscan.
Edit #2
I guess it’s debatable if it’s actually a scam (I didn’t visit their site). But definitely spam. Spellspam then???
