Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that your fantasting plugin is a live saver
It helped me stopping MailPoet fake subscribers
Keep up the great job!

For me it’s working like a charm. 207 attempts blocked over the weekend and… counting. No fake email addresses at all! Amazing!
Also, I can see the email address that has been blocked.

Yah, Robin, I’ve seen that issue with comments but as the author replied there is an incompatibility with Jetpack.

Hope this helps others as well

Finally I’ve found somebody with the same problem.

The wpshout.com had the same issue and they’re claiming here https://wpshout.com/goodbye-captcha/ this plugin solved the problem.

I’ve got the Mailpoet extension and it seems to work. In an hour blocked like 5 fake users.

I’ll keep you guys updated if this really works

I was checking the emails and unfortunately not all of them are listed on stopforumspam.com

Following the instructions, I installed WangGuard Connector plugin but still no luck.

Last night I’ve got 27 confirmed email addresses out of 73. So… 73 of fake subscribers already passed WangGuard.

Just 11 out of 23 confirmed emails are listed on stopforumspam.com

Desperately looking for a solution

Hi @7dallas5
Just wondering if you found a solution for this. I have the same problem and it is getting worse.
There is another discussion about fake accounts here

Hi,
I am facing the same issue but not just with yahoo email addresses.
Yes, plenty of them follow the same pattern
Email: [first_name] [last_name] [3-5 digit random number]
But not all of them!

I have the registration disabled and my main concern is that since few days such email addresses started to get confirmed.
