Nearly 40% of form submissions can be bots. They're inflating your list, destroying your sender reputation, and you probably don't know it's happening.
It starts with a fake form submission.
It ends with your real customers never seeing your emails.
They look like real leads. They have real-sounding names and email addresses. They pass through your opt-in forms and land in your CRM like any other contact.
Welcome sequences, nurture campaigns, sales follow-ups - all firing off to addresses that don't exist or never opted in.
Those fake addresses bounce. Some belong to spam traps. Every bounce and complaint chips away at your sender reputation.
Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo watch your sender score. When it drops, your emails get routed to spam - or blocked entirely.
Open rates fall. Click rates fall. Revenue falls. Not because your emails are bad - because they're never being delivered.
Bounce rates above 5% trigger reviews. Repeated violations can get your account suspended. Now you can't email anyone.
Senders with clean lists achieve 97% inbox placement. Dirty lists drop to 76%. That 21-point gap is the difference between your emails reaching the inbox and landing in spam - and most businesses don't realize they're on the wrong side of it until revenue has already taken the hit.
That's what makes it dangerous.
Bot submissions don't look like spam. Modern bots use real email addresses scraped from the internet - addresses belonging to real people who never filled out your form.
Your lead count looks healthy. Your CRM is growing. Everything appears to be working.
But those contacts will never open, never click, never buy. And the real people whose addresses were stolen? They mark you as spam.
By the time you notice deliverability dropping, the damage is already done - and you're not just cleaning up bad data, you're rebuilding trust with email providers who've already flagged you as a spammer.

Stop the Bots"Welp...I happened to notice some weird stuff going on with contact id's. We've spanned hundreds already this morning, which makes no sense. So I look at how many spam submissions have already been filtered today. Already 2k just this morning. Nearly 100k in the past 30 days. Holy crap. Thanks so much for building this tool!"
