Hello,
I use a contact form on www.bcimport.com , defined mandatory fields , somehow I started to get spam where mandatory fields are empty . Please see attached file.

just recived it again , please see attached
How is this supposed to work on a WebSite X5 website?
The contact form prevents sending if all mandatory fields are not filled out.
I once tried to send a test email without mandatory fields by deactivating Javascript - did the test email arrive?
When I tried to send an email using the contact form on my own website without required fields and without Javascript, no email arrived in my inbox.
If the moderators and other users don't have an explanation for this, then think about computer hackers.

The mail experts would have to analyze it more closely.
I found this part:
X-Mailer: PHPMailer 6.8.0 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer)
The difference might be that I'm using the "Standard Script" instead of the "PHP Mailer (recommended)".
So wait for the moderators or the Incomedia employees.
Hello George
Did you enable the Recaptcha v2 on your forms from the software or not?
If not, could you try enabling that and see if the situation persists?

Hello Stefano, the "check word" is enabled , please see picture describe the issue. Please note the email i recived doesn't included mandatory fields , like email address. you can see it on picture. I did try to use different options from PHP Meller , but i have other issues with it.
... In fact it's so ...

Hello George
I would recommend, in this case, using the Recaptcha v2 from Google instead of our integrated captcha system.
It is more reliable in case of severe spamming situations such as this. Can you please try and enable that?

Hello, google Recaptcha v2 is enabled now , I will let you know if it help tomorrow. Thank you for the support.

Looks better now , I recived just one empty email in 24h . Thank you.
Autore
Sorry , started to recive empty forms again, google Recaptcha v2 is enabled. Please advise
Hello George
If the spam is still happening, you might be a target of a more advanced bot Spam. I would advise moving the contact form to another page for the moment. Change the page and its name and see if the spam continues this way.
This is usually enough to stop the spam from happening
