There is a MASSIVE spike in spam accounts

I've been playing League since the last week of Season 2. I can happily say I've never seen a single spammer until midway through Season 4. But now, I'm getting 5-6 spam account requests for Elo-boosting a day. EVERY day. Does this happen to anybody else? I'm hoping if we get enough traffic here that a Riot member will pick up on it and maybe help address it?

Riot is constantly fighting these. It's cat and mouse - the spammers make better bots, Riot has to upgrade their software to detect them.

Haven't gotten any spam about boosting, but i keep getting friend requests then they message me something about some scam-like working from home bullshit. And the link is to some site full of spyware.
