Can you clarify that comment, please?
The plugin is just a front, a bait and switch trying to get you to purchase a proprietary plugin instead. This plugin’s functionality is way reduced, and it’ll just push you to buy a proprietary one instead.
There are over 563,000 downloads of Spam Free WordPress. If it was fake no would download it, and ww.wp.xz.cn would have pulled it out of the repository.

It’s not that the plugin is fake, but now just a lousy front that’s mostly designed to push people towards a proprietary (and probably GPL-violating) alternative.
The vast majority of those downloads were from before the “update” over the summer that turned the plugin into a bait and switch promo for another proprietary plugin.
This review is consistent with the vast majority of other 1-star reviews that have come in since the summer. Don’t be fooled by positive reviews or large downloads from pre-Summer 2013. The current plugin is lousy, pretty much a bait and switch for another proprietary (likely GPL-violating) plugin, and you can no longer trust any “updates” to this plugin.
