I understand this is my first post but, I'm hoping that you guys and girls can help with a situation which has been going on now since the start of the week...
A person (I think..?) is opening accounts on my website everyday with each account having a different IP address and a different email address. He's opening between 5 and 20 accounts a day. He's also doing the same with affiliates. The only things that are the same every time are - name, address and contact number.
Once the accounts are opened each account has multiple password resets.
Is there anyone that is able to help resolve this issue as it is being a nuisance and I'm waking up to best part of 100 emails everyday.
Enable the account approval from the admin customer groups. Accounts will only be created with your consent. An alternative solution would be to use the CSRF protection form to avoid POST flooding: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... on_id=4773

I am having exactly the same thing!! And it only started in the last week or so too.
Not a "James Kelvin" by any chance?
I'm deleting daily - both affiliate and customer accounts and hoping that one day they'll just give up.
What are they hoping to achieve anyway?

I too have seen dozens of James and Jane Kelvin (as well as other names) accounts being created and multiple password resets. I am not sure as to the intent as there are no orders (fraudulent or otherwise) being generated by these accounts or using the affiliate codes. All these accounts are being created from proxy server addresses indicating fraudulent activity but I can not figure out what they are trying to accomplish.
Simply read the description on the mentioned marketplace URL. If you have questions about it, post in the support forum link provided on that page.
