Hmmm. Even if overall registrations are increasing (and ours didn't
change noticeably in February), I wouldn't think the number of years per
registration would increase by a factor of 3.
If those were my statistics, I'd be checking the IP addresses to see if a
lot of them are coming from countries like Malaysia, indicating credit
card fraud. More than half the five- and ten-year registration attempts
we've ever received have been fraudulent.
Or maybe you've done some advertising, or got a couple of big new
clients?
I'd give a couple of the ten-year ones a call, claiming "we just needed
to check the billing address on the card" or something like that. See if
the person really exists, and if they do, ask how they heard about you.
I'd be interested to hear back if they're legit.
