My inbox is flooded with sample requests from France

[jecasc]

For the last three days I have been receiving dozens of sample requests through my contact form. All asking for samples, vouchers or advertising objects. And all in french and originating in France.

None of them asks for samples of a specific product or at least a specific brand. So I assume they are submitted by one of those free samples services.

I have checked on the IP adresses however the requests all originate from different IPs. Probably they are constantly switching proxy servers.

Any suggestions on how I can find out from which service this emails are originating or how to stop them abusing my contact form? I am not sure wether they automatically submit those requests or enter them manually into the contact form.

I don't think I will send those samples out since I do not know if the people are even really interested. Or should I? Besides - mon francais n'est pas tres bon.

When I had problems with automated requests in my forms, I just added a captcha to the form and they all stopped.
