How do I get rid of a spammer?

This is a Good question, but lets go back and just remind ourselves, of what happened, when we started on the internet, did we not do the same thing? ~ Quite possibly we did, until someone showed us the right way.

So... Why not write a carefully crafted email, offering help for his business venture, s/he won't be able to resist, then attract him to your back office and start marketing to them via a newsletter, which infocates them.

This is a win win situation for you, you earn and they get ed

I wish spammers came to this thread just to read this:

"Actually, spamming is more expensive than paid advertising (blocked IP, damaged reputation, etc.) and when people realize it, they stop spamming :)"

Good one, my friend, thumbs up!

I fully agree with you, Philippe. I just would like to say that spam in internet marketing field is something matter of course, because most of people's in this field firstly start doing something and only after that they learn how to do it correct.

When I getting spam message I smile and thinking "ok, ok... soon you'll realize how stupid is this your message..." I not panic and don't think "oh my god... what to do... how to avoid spammers..." :)

Actually, spamming is more expensive than paid

That's the whole point, Felikss, I can understand that people who start online marketing might not realize sending unsolicited links is not a good idea, that's why I tell them not to do so in my responses.

Advertising on the street, on TV, in the restrooms, it's unavoidable, it costs a LOT of money, it's not highly targeted for the most part.

Taking the time to write good content then create good ad campaigns is the way to go. Posting useful and informative comments also helps brand yourself.

How not to see advertising on the streets? - stay at home... How do I get rid of a spammer? - shut down your computer...

Sorry for such a response, but if I dealt with internet marketing, I understand with which it is associated. I not blame the spammers, because I think that each of us at the beginning was a spmmer... at least I was :)

My answer is - either you accept and understanding the environment in which you want to be or look for another occupation.

Hi @AW Solicitors - I have in fact reported him to admin after my last post here, yesterday afternoon... when he posted it again (with his spammy link included...), which was now invitation no 5!!!

I am now wondering if I will hear from Admin? If they will even do anything? Will he respond to them, ignore the? Is this just going to disappear? But I'm keeping my cool and laughing everytime I see his new invite!!

Will keep you'll posted..

Report him to the admin.

When you accept a contact request, it means that person will see your status updates on their news feed, and vice versa. You then get an idea of the seriousness of the person.

Sending a link right after the contact request is accepted means you are in a hurry to make a sale.

One more thing: I have never received an unsolicited link from a successful marketer. There are some here at APSense, people who own well known sites such as TEs and safelists.

I prefer to build trust before jumping on bo

Before we hastily click/press on the 'REPORT' button, it would be more 'mature' to make them understand that building relationship(s), instead of simply advertising their links, would have a better impact or give him or her BETTER RESULTS. Who knows, he/she might just be venturing out now, so may not even know what he/she is up to. Furthermore, everyone is not 'raised up' in the same 'environment', therefore may have the same strategy to approaching things! :-)

Once again, thanks to everyone keeping this discussion going.
Looking at the last few comments, may I nudge some of you back on track (smile..)? @Giby Joseph.. slow down, tiger, we love everyone here, we can also forgive, shout, scream and pick up and carry on... shaming someone is just not my way of working and could bite back!
@John Smith and @Craig Traudt: we're referring to someone sending you an invite here at APSense. The invite is to connect and then he added his website url as part of

I would go to his profile page and shame him publicaly by posting there to stop

Just use the captcha to get rid of spammers.

Spammer is anywhere for many their purposes

my email program has a block feature. Maybe yours does too

Wincer Song is the man who founded APSense, check out his profile

What is Wincer? I am talking about personal emails only, and not marketing platforms or social networks.

Have you checked that out with Wincer Mike? You could end up getting reported and banned yourself otherwise

I would reverse market to the spammer. You found a lead. You reply back to spam email thanking the person for the info, and say you can't accept their offer at this time. Then tell them how you can benefit them and share a link. This example is for emails sent to your personal email address not on APSense or any platform that does not allow affiliate links. I would not use this method on any platform that does not allow direct links to contacts.

Block Him, he wont be able to contact you again.

Well said Joe, if we can keep this thread at the top of the list eventually the whole APSense community will see it and hopefully it will become as big as Google and Facebook (we can all dream) and spammers will be no more
