I have an email newsletter form. Entries come through with “names” that are just a strange mix of letters and/or numbers, but the emails look like real emails, with a ticked consent box. Are these spam, or is there something weird that I need to fix so names come through correctly?
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about (I removed the email though, just in case it’s someone’s real one)
Name:
AqpUdTSlyC
Email:
[email protected]
Consent:
Yes
One of my clients got hit with something like this recently – dozens of very real looking @yahoo.com and @msn.com addresses, all around the same time, so was fairly easy to clean out. Definitely spam.
