You could use some divs in your CSS to hide up specific text like alexa does for their URLs. So every now and they they’d get the text “Stolen from xxx.com” Problem is it’d not let regular users copy it either

@Snoskred :
Obviously, you do report these to Akismet. That reduces the incentive for the scrappers to do what they are doing.

The difficulty is getting this stuff taken down. If the blog is doing full scale copying, you can issue take down notices (which is a pain in the neck.) Because full scale copying is a copyright violation, you’ll eventually prevail and the stuff will get taken down.

I don’t actually know what you can do when they publish snippets only. You can obviously send a take down notice and see if it works. Fighting the take down notice is work for them, so they probably will.

Unfortunately, a different spammer will spring up and start scrapping. So you really need to decide what’s worth your time.

In your specific instance, you might also want to see which bits of your text the actually pick up and make sure the text includes “scam warning”. I notice the spammers usually pick up the title, so including it there might work.

I get a lot of trackback spam on my main blog which isn’t much of an issue, I just put it all into Akismet. However we just launched a new blog called scam warning which posts scam letters from scammers all over the world – the idea is people search for their scammers name, email address or other info contained in the scam letter and find out that it is a scam.

This daegan spam is taking scam letters from our blog and putting them onto blogs which don’t have all the warnings that our blog does.

I’m feeling a bit worried about it. Though in their post it always links back to our site and the site is called scam warning it may not be enough to stop someone getting scammed.

Any ideas, Lucia? Here’s an example of what I’m seeing, I took the links out for obvious reasons.
