 * In:
    Settings=>Discussion=>Pingback
 * I have:
    Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)
 * Unchecked
 * However, I just received a notification that a 3rd party website is attempting
   on one of my posts.
 * How can this be possible, if I have allow link notifications from other blogs
   unchecked? Shouldn’t that setting prevent pingbacks?
