Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 8424 comments Just be aware .... spammers are now posting "comments" on reviews. Usually something innocuous like "I really enjoyed this book," followed by a link with "more"

If you click on the link, thinking you'll get more of their comments you'll be taken to another website (frequently porn).

Report each of these instances to Goodreads when you come across them.
You can fill out the CONTACT US form to report.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 8424 comments I've also seen a couple of comments in the PBT threads with these embedded links ... some normal word like "know" or "also" will actually be a link taking you to a website touting whatever.

Sue | 2724 comments Thanks for the heads up. I'm always amazed when people make those sort of links or creates false entries on a site like this - makes me want to tell them to get a life. Or go read a good book!

Joanne (joabroda1) | 12589 comments I have seen them here, and figured that is what they were because of the senseless comment being made...like Sue said " go read a book"
