The issue is that we get several form submissions from fake email addresses, such as aa@aa.com. These are humans that do not want to give their personal data but want to access our gated content. These creates 2 issues for us:
1) Our database grows with fake contacts
2) We give content to users without knowing their contact details
Idea
HubSpot could have an integration with platforms such as (https://kickbox.com) to verify if an email address is valid on the fly. If it is not, a validation error should be triggered.
This is an interesting idea. I'll just add that it wouldn't be hard for people to submit a random email that isn't theirs, like "johnsmith@gmail.com". One solution to this issue would be to have the gated content be accessible only through email. So you would still have the form, but once it's filled out a message appears saying thank you, please check your email for a download link or something like that.
One solution could be to allow/disallow (blocklist/allowlist) specific domains and for HubSpot to maintain a dabase of the spamming domains, like this WordPress plugin which blocks thousands of free email domains.
I'm in the same boat, ACohen 1000%. Just got like 6 form submissions in a row with spammy email addresses and Im at my wits end. Did you ever find a solution or are you just living with it (like I have for 4 years now?) ha.
Unfortunately still living with this as HubSpot didnt provide a solution for it yet 😞
