    I have been using this free plugin for a few years now. I love it.
    Recently, in the past week, I’ve noticed that I started getting some spam (roughly up to 10 a week).

    I would like to know how to combat this.

    Thank you

  • Me too. I have asked if they could beef up the verification a bit by asking a simple math question that changes every time the page is loaded instead of “enter any two digits”. I manage several WordPress sites using VFB Free and once one gets a certain spam, they all start getting the same one and I have noticed that the IP address of the spammer is usually the same for any given submission topic even though the email address changes so I block the IP address with Wordfence. So far I’ve only had to block 3 IP addresses but I’ve had to do that on about 5 sites. They are targeting the free version and have automated the process to entering any two digits.
