Spammed like crazy
-
I am getting SO much email registration SPAM and then they are activating their accounts and still posting listings on my directory! Same old even after installing and using some security plugins, I still get the spam and they change up their ip address after I add it to the block list on my server. How in the heck can I stop these people from spamming? I do NOT want to block country. I get this ONE person that is doing it because the listings they want to add are the same crap about this stuff: Metalloys, Steel & Alloys, MetalOre and they add their listing like 15 in one lcoation and do the same dame thing in another location. I delete the listings, then add their IP to block on server and next day, more listings with a different ip address.
What I dont get is that their email address has to be verified first and they change up this for each listing. This is a lot of work to verify each email address and also change up IP address, but still so many of them.
Please help as this is driving me crazy!

More Info.
I have a business directory. People must register before posting a listing. When they register, they must verify their email and then they are given a temperary password to use in the email sent from my directory.I have over 150 location on a mutli site environment. People cannot use more than 1 location with their registered account. I also have to moderate the listings.
When this spammer creates an account and adds a listing, they change up their email for the second and third and so on listing on the same location. This is done also on other locations. I do have a re capcha from Google on the forms and again they need to verify their email address.
It seems like one person beacsue the listings they try to add are all about metals.
