I have been taking down repeated Fake Accounts from my website since May 2022. It's getting to the stage where I am taking down 50+ per day. This is dwarfed by the 196 accounts I deleted this weekend 26/11/22. I have tried banning the IP addresses in Extensions/Anti Fraud pages in admin but it's not banning all the IP addresses each time. If I submit 40 new IP addresses, 35 will be added to the list but 5 will not have because they are already on the banned list!!
So my real question is...Can I set up my shop so that you do not create an account?
These are my two goto add-ons for this problem:Bulletpolish wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 6:47 pmI have been taking down repeated Fake Accounts from my website since May 2022.

Hi JohnP,
Thanks for your reply and it sounds good BUT, how can a "retired old guy" with no computer skill install this on my website please?
Kind regards,

You probably won't be able so I suggest posting in the commercial support forum. Once the two scripts are installed and running you'll be able to manage them yourself through their respective admin panels.Bulletpolish wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 7:34 pmHi JohnP,

Your website is probably being visited by many spambots doing all these fake account registrations.
The SpamBot Buster will prevent fake account registrations quite effectively.
