This can be solved by doing the following:
1.
Sign up for captcha (now owned by google) to obtain a public and private key. It’s free:
http://www.google.com/recaptcha
2.
Go into your WP admin controls and install, activate, and configure the captcha plugin:
WP-reCAPTCHA (its searchable from within WP or you can download from their here:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/
3.
Finally go into your custom contact form and make sure you attached the captcha field onto your form.
It took a couple minutes to finally start loading properly so be patient.
If this still doesn’t work then you have to make sure that:
“Your theme must have a do_action(‘comment_form’, $post->ID); call right before the end of your form (Right before the closing form tag). Most themes do.” (from http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/other_notes/)
Also make sure the wp-recaptcha plugin settings has the Comment Options =>Activation =>Enable for comments form check box enabled.
Hope this helps!
