Pretty sure most of the responses to my form are fake

Hi there. I launched a new form yesterday, and I woke up this morning to almost 200 responses. But I’m pretty sure the majority of them are fake, judging by the email addresses supplied with them. Is there anything I can do about this?

Hi @shelley.d Thanks for reaching out to Typeform! Do you have any specific indicators about the responses that seem fake? For example, are there any particular email types being used? 

One option would be to add a math question to the form and mark it as required to ensure that the respondent is a real person. You could also force them to type a specific word like in the example below:

Would either of these solutions help?
