This person made 79 accounts on my site, each from a different location. Anyone have any ideas? Is this going to raise my google ads amount? Is this person just doing this so my google amount goes up so I have to pay more? I don’t understand, is it a bot?

Same!!! I went to create a segment for the united states and boom SO MANY in different cities… Can shopify do something about this? Is it a threat to our online stores?

Just deleted 35 accounts from my Klaviyo from this Thursday night. All diff cities. What on Earth.

Same. 49 times a few days ago. Deleted all. Did you folks recently submit your details through google or something? Cause I did this in the last two weeks and I’m wondering if it’s a google thing.

Same here. I had >100 Mark Mustermanns. How do we prevent this going forward? I’m worried about my email deliverability reputation getting trashed.

I had several Mark’s added on 3/31. I just downloaded the customer data and called the phone number attached. It was an automated system that welcomed me to the Googleplex. Registered to Mountain View, CA, which is where Google is actually located.

same thing happened to me. Do you have any idea what this means ?

No I did and nothing happened – Best, Nada

Now that I think about it this may be it! I did just update my business info in google within the past week. But why?? This Mark Mustermann person made over 30 accounts using different locations and a fake email.

Is Mark Mustermann increasing my Google Ads cost with multiple accounts?

It happened to us today! 40+ accounts created for this person. I filtered them all out and deleted them, and Klaviyo automatically suppressed them for bounced emails. There has to be some way to prevent this!
