A workaround was created by Steve
Am I doing something wrong? Is this not a legitimate question? If I knew Joomla better, I could figure my way out. I'm more of a designer than as coder. That's why I need real help or guidance.
I created a website that uses Joomla.
On the site is a Donation page using JoomDonation, which we like very much.
Unfortunately unscrupulous people use our donation form to attempt to see if to make small donations with bogus addresses and emails. As was explained to me, these are typically stolen credit card information, and if the card numbers work, they then try to buy large ticket items elsewhere.
So my thoughts on how to at least try stop the inconvenience of getting all these bogus donation email attempts and subsequent forms (I receive a copy of all submissions as the webmaster / volunteer ) was to include an email verification step.
How would I accomplish that?
Please keep in mind, I'm a middle aged, intermediate skilled designer on my best days.
