Flickr phishing

I'm feeling rather left out here :(

My highest hit with over 2,500 is this one,


129A1932 by Chris, on Flickr

Do you think its the "Armoured Dildo" Tag?
and if so WTF were they searching for to "hit that" image ???
 
2501... damn, not what I thought it would be.
 
I've just had another one this morning:

https://www.flickr.com/people/150493059@N04/

Usual pictures, joined in July, 1.6k favourites, the link to her 'home movie' is the usual biSPAM address.
The usual mixed bag of favourited pics.
 
I gave up my flickr ages ago but I post pics on DA now and again and seem to get a lot of young women from Russia, couriously all 24 year old, their accounts seem real enough (or someones spent a lot of trouble making it look that way) no sign of camera porn yet though.... sadly, I liked the zeiss planar!

I've found 3 (without looking too hard). How do you block them using the android app?

Can you get to their 'About' page?
 
Even allowing for California time Yahoo Flickr seem very slow deleting these, I've reported three more and nothing happened since Friday.
They must be under siege.
 
Still nothing here I'm feeling rather left out TBH :(
 
I've been getting these too, liking old photos, randomly and they only have 5 photos themselves with titles like 'like me' 'write me'

I've been blocking them, but curently at 2 dozen and counting

If there a setting to change to stop them, why they picking me or is it rife and I'm spammed like a million others

You don't get them if your photostream is set to private. You won't get any views though :)

Just report and block, Flickr may take action some day to verify new accounts or restrict the number of faves a new member can generate.
 
(Some NSFW!)

Wow, my photography has really made me popular with the ladies of late. Funnily enough, they are all young, good looking and a few don't have many clothes!

Meet Chrystal Miller https://www.flickr.com/photos/151315134@N06 . She's lovely, and she already has 46 followers in the single month she's been on (she must be talented).

Another friend I have is Melissa. She must have trouble with her heating, as she never seems to wear many clothes. Poor thing. https://www.flickr.com/photos/150441859@N04

Here's Madeline. She likes my photos too. She's a bit fickle as it seems she's faved nearly 4,000 images in the last couple of weeks so she gets about https://www.flickr.com/photos/150174872@N06

This is Sarah. https://www.flickr.com/photos/156804059@N03 . She's clearly a sports fan as she's liked a random charity match football game photo. I might invite her to the next game.

This is Olivia. She is also hard of cash as she too doesn't wear clothes. I might send her some money https://www.flickr.com/photos/157106094@N02

Hailey https://www.flickr.com/photos/153374178@N03/ . So far she only has one follower. I feel sorry for her so I've started to follow her back. I hope she doesn't think I'm a stalker...

Rebecca. Seems legit https://www.flickr.com/photos/153073124@N05

And this is just over the last few days :)

Ha! Legit!
Rebecca has favourited 635 people in the last month.
That's a nice selection of young women following you, Jim.
Maybe you could introduce them to @Cobra :)
 
Oh, and now Rececca Osborne https://www.flickr.com/photos/157286759@N03 . She likes to have pictures taken of her on the toilet which I'm not sure about? I'm sure there's a very understandable reason for that one and I won't judge her for that.

I'm so popular I might palm them off!
 
I'm glad that I am not a member of any of these sites - MOH would throw a hissy fit if things like that started happening.
 
I did get one , but my one has only pictures of ipads , iphones and the like with an instruction to follow a link from the description. No women without clothes . :confused:

I'm still not sure how you report these accounts though? I can block them on their 'about' page but still can't see an option to report the account?

See post 22
 
Well I don't feel left out now! I've had two recently, one looks like it had already been removed hiker the other I've blocked. The one I blocked had been busy, she had followed 1.4k, and weirdly had 14 followers! I'm now wondering if any new followers are legit or not, I can foresee a few mistakes with this.

You can also scroll down to the bottom of your flickr page and hit "Report Abuse". That gives you a drop down menu with a bunch of options.

Got it now, I'm blind, god knows how I missed it, even when Kendo pointed it out!
