How do we prevent phishing bots and spammers from filling out our forms?

Anonymous · ‎03-18-2013

We're starting to see a number of leads that are coming in from our contact us page that appear to be spam. What are some ways we could prevent this? Though the landing page currently uses an SFDC form, we are in the process of converting all website forms to Marketo forms.

Our SFDC admin has suggested a hidden CAPTCHA method, but I'm not sure if the same is possible on a Marketo form.

Jessie,

There are a few articles on this. Do a quick search for "empty leads" or "form bots"
Try this article too. I think it has a link to one of those
