Orders getting swamped with orders from johnsmith005@storebotmail.joonix.net

Hello
we are getting multiple orders from "John Smith" using email johnsmith005@storebotmail.joonix.net
Definition of "swamped", 17 orders in the last 2 days
Creates a cart with a single random item, including shipping, which then stops at the payment leaving the status as "awaiting payment".
Can't find any reference to this on opencart forum, but Google throws up reports of other shop systems seeing this as one of Googles Bots checking prices for Google Shopping.
Checking the IP addresses shows some of them being owned by Google-IT in India and some of them are Virgin Media IP's in the UK.
Should I be blocking these or is there another way of stopping them, or should I just live with it?
Cheers
Sooty
