Launchpad itself

Spammers again and fake projects

Asked by Manfred Hampl on 2018-09-22

Similar to recent cases:

I challenge the validity of the following projects, because they seem to be created just for the purpose of spamming:

https://launchpad.net/muzikindir
https://launchpad.net/sdfgsfdgdfg
https://launchpad.net/mp3indirme
https://launchpad.net/remixsarkilar
https://launchpad.net/blockchainexpertsa
see also https://launchpad.net/~btchealers and his PPAs

In addition there are some spam messages, which apparently slipped through the filter:
