I just detected yet another plagiarist using the forum to copy & paste content that she doesn’t own. The content is identical to texts from a couple of Blogger blogs but is written in garbled English. I suspect it’s a bad machine translation that a person or group of people is using to defraud different writing & blogging sites.

I reported the forum post. The user’s name is “ana gretu.” She is sending out friend requests, so beware!

For @support, this is where the original content was taken from:

 

 

The story was lifted by bloggers, with additional images from a second source. See it here:

It was then spun and republished on some other Blogger sites like this one:

The forum post here is just the text lifted from the illegal copy at Blogger. It took me less than one minute to track this down.

Hello sissy, I get in this morning, the temp lower to 38.1 as well, thanks for the tips!! @ruby3881

Oh my, first of all, thank you for helping me once again to get in the side!! You are always been so helpful to me. Second, thanks to @support for helping me as well you both are making me happy during fever time!!

Second, you know what, the name rings a bell to me. I think I read the name Ana Gretu on some of my sites, but that person on the other site is not a spammer. I do believe that Ana Gretu that is spamming here is not that person though. I am glad it is again reported.

Me, when I am seeing a post that is too long, and it is posted in the forum, I know it is a plagiarized posts, because if you are in your normal thinking, why would you post such kind and you even told us that is garbled English, it is quite understandable that the only objective is to put dirt on the site.

@grecy094 I’m happy the fever is subsiding, sis! And to see you back on the site, too 😀

Yes, I thought the name was familiar too. But the Ana Gretu on other sites is legit. Perhaps it was just a well-intentioned share. Perhaps somebody is using her name to commit mischief. In any case, I hope @support can figure out what’s going on.

@ruby3881, When I first joined here, somebody messaged me about treasure.I deleted it and gone.I supposed to report it but no idea how as a newbie. The other week, i invited a friend to join here and she is in now, but sad to say she experienced a spam letter as if someone from a dating site. Why re there entries here of fraud people? The site must have a very strong anti-spammer tool.There are many  now wanting to destruct on line businesses.Just sharing.

Sad that Literacybase faces a few spammers and plagiarists at so early a stage.

I think as more people get paid, the news will attract more and more spammers.

Hope they have a way to get rid of spammer and plagiarists for good.  All sites have to fight this which is very unfortunate.

@scheng1 All sites do face it. I think staff are trying hard to prevent spam and plagiarism here, but the cheaters always find the loopholes.

Thank you for letting us know. We will handle it from here now.
