https://developer.woocommerce.com/2020/11/05/developer-advisory-spam-orders-and-accounts-from-bots/

and from various IP address around the planet…

they are annoying

As a workaround you could enable the option “Allow customers to create an account during checkout”. You can find this option by going WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts and Privacy .

Also, you could use a anti-spam plugin as Akismet or you could use the reCaptcha for WooCommerce for that purpose as well.

• reCaptcha for WooCommerce: https://woocommerce.com/products/recaptcha-for-woocommerce

I hope this helps ??

Hi @pg-fun and @symkrilag,

We have had a few reports of this happening with WooCommerce 4.8. There’s an open issue on GitHub if you’d like to follow along with developments there.

Hi @symkrilag,

Since we haven’t heard from you in a while, we’re hoping that means you were able to get this resolved. I’m going to close this thread out now.

If you’re still having trouble, please open up a new topic and we’ll be happy to help out.

Take care
