amory Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I am getting frequent contact form notices from 2 of my websites and they are spam. They all have the name listed twice, an email that typically doesn't go with the name or is non-specific, a fake or unfinished website, and 1 word in the message. See picture for example. Is there a way to block these or change something to minimize getting them? Link to comment
paul2009 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 What steps have you taken so far? For example, did you add Google reCAPTCHA? About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.

amory Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have Google reCAPTCHA, yes. That is all I've done at this point. Link to comment

cheeseburgeraj Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Im having the same problem. This time the subject line was something I had googled in my Chrome browser which creeped me out...Any ideas on what that may be and how to fix this? I saw the comment about Google reCAPTCHA which I will also look into. Link to comment
station_technologies Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I recently built a plugin for a small business client to track and block spam emails. If this sounds useful to you, then please let me know. Link to comment

Definitely reduces spam but they still come through. Although not as much. Link to comment
surftrip Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I am getting the exact same thing. Captcha does nothing, so I am interested in seeing a solution. Really sucks... Link to comment
