Default Spam bot spreading DEFAMATORY links in my name?

Hi, I'm having a bad problem

When googling my full name, I get about 30 pages containing spam and the phrase "firstname lastname drug abuse""firstname lastname criminal" in the page title or body. :// I am horrified

The phrases are 100% UNTRUE and 100% LIBEL, I don't know who in the hell is doing this? I've cliked on these links and they take me to spam sites, nothing more. A spambot is spreading these pages/links but why?? How in hell can I remove those defamatory links or do something about it? I certainly don't want the links to be seen by future employers or such, theyre not even true!!

I've tried to contact those sites but no answer and Google (spamreport) doesn't either & the spam phrases are in different websites and it would take hell a time to try contact them all!!

Oh and I live in Hungary and there's no ppl with exactly same full name. Only 10 uses the same surname as I and I know all of those people, no one with same full name. Unfortunately!!
those offending pages come in 3th result page in google

you can ask google to remove them, but most likely you will not have much luck.

who the hell googles their own name? why don't you go outside and look for a life . . .

I can assure you no useful employers will Google your name, simply because, as you seem to be aware, it's not reliable

also, it's not necessary to shout

Report it to the police. Hire an attorney. You could have a major lawsuit.

don't be ignorant... read up... a high % of employers nowadays Google prospective applicants as due diligence prior to an interview. welcome to 2008
