Ask HN: Have you been receiving spam from the freelancer's thread?
I usually post something in the Seeking Freelancer's thread once a month, and lately, I've noticed a significant amount of spam coming to the address I list as a contact. It's always in the form of "Hire us for SEO, Web Design, & Development!"
Anyone else running into this?
- mjn 14y agoI've also gotten this spam, and I haven't posted in that thread. I think it came (but it's hard to say for sure) as a result of me posting in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5389150 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5389150; or at least it came soon thereafter. I don't even have my email address anywhere on HN. It's easy to find it via the URL in my profile, but someone must be dong more than just scraping HN itself.
