I've been using a combination of IP blocking and behavioral analysis to filter out scammers, and it's been pretty effective so far. One thing I've noticed is that scammers often have a distinct 'signature' in their interaction patterns, such as rapid-fire responses or requests for sensitive info. Has anyone else explored this approach?

I've definitely noticed this trend in my own workflows. It's like scammers have a sixth sense for detecting automation. I'd love to hear some strategies for filtering them out without discouraging real clients from responding.

Regarding the CAPTCHA idea, do you think that would negatively impact the user experience for real clients? I've heard that CAPTCHAs can be pretty frustrating for legitimate users, especially on mobile devices.

Great point! I've found that adding a simple CAPTCHA to my n8n scripts can help weed out some of the more automated scam attempts. But I'm curious, has anyone had success with more advanced methods like IP blocking or machine learning-based filters?
