I use a couple of different contact form plugins on my wp sites so which one doesn't seem to matter. The form works just fine for real contact attempts from real people. But, for every 1 contact form submission, I get another 15 or so fake submissions to my email. Somehow these seemingly automated scripts are sending through the contact form using its fields but yet the fake submissions do NOT get recorded in the database. They come into my email with the same subject line and question headings that I ask for in the plugin settings like:
Here's an example:
From: hogan sito ufficiale
Email: iuogva@(i removed email)
Phone: hogan sito ufficiale
Message:
<a href="http://www.(iremovedurl).com
outlet.asp">hogan
olympia uomo</a> <a href="http://www.(iremovedurl).com
Any idea how to stop these? I get usually about 50 a day.
