Form spam entries keep coming in! Event after deleting forms from my site

Hi,

For the past several days, my site’s been receiving spam form submissions (both newsletter sign up and contact forms). I tried implementing recaptcha field, but they kept coming. I added a honeypot field, but they kept coming. I deleted all the forms from my website, and they kept coming!!

The spam form submissions have now pushed me in Form Levels 1 plan and I am having to pay Netlify $19 because of these bots.

This morning, I deactivated form detection on my site entirely. And I hope it will solve it.

But that’s not a durable solution. How come are these entries making it through? And will I ever be able to get the forms back on my website?

The site is whatifididnt.com (or whatifididnt.netlify.app).

The email addresses submitted look like real users (eg. @hotmail, etc.) but the name for the contact form is an auto-generate string, like McfgsOwuIyxAGLq. See screenshot.

I appreciate any help you all can give me to stop and remedy this.

Hi there!

I see we’ve been chatting in our Help Desk, so I’ll go ahead and close this forum thread out so we can continue the discussion over there.

Thanks!
