Spammers, Scammers, and Bots

I have a public persona on the internet. I have been using the handle markezuma for nearly thirty years. It is intended to attract attention and lead directly to my current work. But much of my attention is from what I will call an annoyance to be civil about it. In reality they are scammers, spammers, and bots. It’s difficult to gauge how far my ideas and art have actually spread by looking at my list of followers. I suspect that this is a very old phenomenon. The more attention a person gets the greater the chances it will be truly negative. If you are an actual reader here I thank you. If you are a scammer or spammer I hope you get your nuts twisted in prison. For the bots that crawl my pages: You owe me money.
