#stop-spam — Public Fediverse posts

Spent my evening looking into spam messages my wife's website is receiving via the contact form. The good thing is that there doesn't seem to be anything that is hazardous, but simply annoying random typing.

Currently I cannot just simply remove the form as for the most part it is needed for some women to contact the midwife practice and request a call back.

So I've taken some steps ...

Erase yourself from the internet: How to take back what’s yours with Incogni, December 3, 2025

Your name, address, phone number, SSN, family information, and even past employment history could be scattered across hundreds, sometimes thousands, of websites you’ve never even heard of. Data brokers, people-search sites, and shady public databases collect and trade your personal details like currency.

And once it’s out there, it doesn’t just disappear. You need to remove it manually or use a data removal service, such as Incogni, to simplify the process and save yourself a headache.

Your data’s not theirs to sell

The unsettling truth is that these companies gather your information without your consent, slap it on a webpage, and often charge others to access it.

You may have been aware of this before; if not, you don’t have to take our word for it. Google your full name along with your city. You’ll likely find pages listing your phone numbers, family members, home addresses, and other personal information.

These aren’t harmless listings — they lead to:

• Spam calls, emails, and texts
• Phishing scams that use personal details to trick you
• Stalkers or exes tracking you down
• Identity thieves building a profile on you

Why it’s so hard to remove your personal data

If you’ve ever tried removing yourself from these sites manually, you know it’s a total headache.

Some bury their opt-out pages deep in fine print. Others make you jump through hoops and prolong the process by asking for more personal information, documents, and signed requests.

It’s confusing, time-consuming, and deliberately frustrating. Even if you do manage to get your personal information pulled off sites, data broker sites often re-list you after a few months, so you need to continuously monitor where your information is appearing.

How Incogni does the work for you

Enter Incogni, a service built to fight back against this data free-for-all.

Spammers and phisher truly are a scourge of humanity. In the past two days I had to refund two accounts that had used stolen credit cards and ban five more for abusing Keila’s signup forms to spread phishing links. ✋

Spammers will try to use every trick to send emails to their victims. This is why the new double opt-in feature is only going to be available for subscribers on our hosted service.

This doesn’t impact you if you’re #selfhosting. It’s just for managed Keila on keila.io.

In 2023, you need to confirm your email address if you want to subscribe to a mailing list or order something online.

And yet, if you want to open a bank account or get a mobile service, all you have to do is give out some random email address you don’t own, and they’ll send someone else your bank statements or your mobile service bills.

Sigh, got my first crypto/ai spam on here. Reported back to the techhub.social server and blocked. 🙄 I've never understood what spammers hope to achieve with this.
