Solved: Suspicious Contact - Constant Contact Community

DougM986 · ‎11-12-2022

I regularly get groups of suspicious new contacts that seem to have bot-generated names, usually comprised of a long, random, series of capital and lowercase letters. Are these real people or are they scammers?

Hi @DougM986. These are most likely bot sign-ups. I took a look at your site and saw there is an inline sign-up form. Inline forms will activate captcha after 50 signups in a 24-hour period. Our Lead Generation Landing Pages have captcha already built into them. I would recommend that you consider using one of these forms to reduce the number of bot signups.
