Tell HN: My contact form is being spammed by bit.ly links

6 pointsby klevertreeabout 4 years ago
Over the past few weeks, my contact form has been non-stop spammed with bit.ly links, alongside text telling me that my domain has expired.<p>I&#x27;ve tried complaining to bit.ly through their contact form and through Twitter, with no response either time. It seems pretty incredible that a Silicon Valley venture backed service could let a scam run through its service, but maybe they need the revenue.<p>Regardless, I&#x27;m hoping I can publicly shame bit.ly into shutting down this scam, or at least their use of bit.ly .

What? A Silicon Valley company is ignoring customer feedback? You don&#x27;t have a way to talk to a human? The only way to be seen is to hope social media shaming will work? What a surprise!!!!<p>Seriously, we need some laws to force these companies into actually allowing people to talk to humans and get answers from their unilateral decisions.<p>Sometimes I think we&#x27;re in the Bizarro timeline. I wonder when the heroes from the &quot;main&quot; universe will make an appearance in our universe.
