Janvier Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I seem to have setup the recaptcha module correctly but I'm still getting Russian spam. I would block Russian emails but we have Russian customers. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DaoKakao Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I faced same problem. My solution is to use a module named "Presta Protect Captcha +" It employs simple approach - user have to slide slider on the contact form in order to unlock sending a message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 innercode Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Usually bots does not use this form at all (only for the first time maybe). You can hide it and you will still get spam. They are doing request directly to submit URL with the POST parameters. So this module with slider is not 100% solution, and won't work in most cases, unless it does more that we don't see, e.g. adds additional field which is submitted and checked in ContactController (overriden), then it might help. We got many client requests regarding spam, we had spam in our website where we used some protection from spam, and it usually helps auto (dumb) bots, but nothing helped, only Google reCAPTCHA. Spam stopped immediately, strange thing that it does not help in your case. Maybe real visitors are sending spam, not sure if it will last long in this case, or you discovered something new, bot which successfully passes reCAPTCHA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
