mikolajA	Hello, After installing your plugin and adding a new currency to my WooCommerce store, I started receiving spam orders every single day — always placed in that newly added currency. Before installing WPML, I never had this issue and my store did not receive any spam orders at all. The problem began immediately after enabling the additional currency. Could you please help me identify why this is happening and how to block these fake orders? Thank you.

I'll then escalate this ticket to our second-tier supporters. If needed, please allow me to take a copy of your site. To do this, I must install a plugin such as Duplicator or All-in-One Migration. Please let me know if you agree. Regards, Itamar.

Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi again. In addition to the above, please follow my suggestion to enable the MaxMind service so you can use the option to display the currency based on the client's location. Please further read about it here: https://woocommerce.com/document/maxmind-geolocation-integration/. Hopefully, enabling the MaxMind service will eliminate or reduce the spam orders. Regards, Itamar.
