Stop it now. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Many Fire and Security company websites are getting overwhelmed with spam messages from automated bots. These have to be read and deleted. Not only is it a waste of your staff&#8217;s valuable time. But some of the messages can be traumatic for some of the younger members of staff. Sadly, it&#8217;s not just offers of SEO that come through your website&#8217;s contact form. No! We have seen a huge increase in the number of naughty offers from online ladies&#8230; Some of them can be very close to the knuckle <\/p>\n<h3>Stop Fire and Security website contact form spam<\/h3>\n<p>For many months we used Akismet. This is the name that most people know for dealing with website spam. The tool worked pretty well BUT it didn&#8217;t catch everything. And it was quite expensive at \u00a34\/month\/site. Few Fire and Security companies want to invest \u00a348 per year on stopping spam.<\/p>\n<p>So our web dev did some research. And found these guys.

I am particularly excited to see that it cuts out a particular bot who used to message Lollipop&#8217;s website regularly bragging how he could get his messages in millions of WordPress contact forms. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Up yours, spambot!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And it cuts out a lot of attempts to try to hack into WordPress websites!<\/p>\n<h3>Auditing your spam filter<\/h3>\n<p>But, most importantly, it has a feature that allows you to go in every 7 days and check what has been kept in so you can help the software to learn what you don&#8217;t want. And what has been filtered out. So you can alert the software if something has been filtered out that shouldn&#8217;t have been.<\/p>\n<h3>Great value anti-spam protection!<\/h3>\n<p>AND it&#8217;s about 10% of the price we were paying. <a href=\"http:\/\/tiny.cc\/ltvalz\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cleantalk.org\/dle?pid=477495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"53\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cleantalk.org\/images\/icons\/150px\/Yellow.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t spam potential customers&#8217; website contact forms to try to get LEADS<\/h3>\n<h2>Can Lollipop help your Fire &#038; Security business to get more leads and sales?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inbound.lollipoplocal.co.uk\/inbound-blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Fire_Security_Man_Happy_eyes-open-fist-punch-500PX-TALL-CROP-TRANSPARENT-206x300.png\" alt=\"happy-fire-security-man\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inbound.lollipoplocal.co.uk\/inbound-blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Fire_Security_Man_Happy_eyes-open-fist-punch-500PX-TALL-CROP-TRANSPARENT-206x300.png 206w, https:\/\/inbound.lollipoplocal.co.uk\/inbound-blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Fire_Security_Man_Happy_eyes-open-fist-punch-500PX-TALL-CROP-TRANSPARENT-103x150.png 103w, https:\/\/inbound.lollipoplocal.co.uk\/inbound-blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Fire_Security_Man_Happy_eyes-open-fist-punch-500PX-TALL-CROP-TRANSPARENT.png 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 85vw, 206px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is an easier way to get <\/p>\n<p>The Right Message in front of<\/p>\n<p>The Right Person at <\/p>\n<p>The Right Time<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lollipop.marketingadvantagetoday.com\/s\/FcZ6yQAPXRQ8LLCoRh7jtzZOlKTI938OpOYPzP0o?utm_campaign=lollybox&#038;utm_medium=website&#038;utm_source=blog&#038;utm_content=oldfsblogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click the link<\/a> to answer a few questions so we can see how best Lollipop can help.
