Anyway to stop it

Thanks

Yes, we've seen similar.

Are you using CAPTCHA?

Yes , happens on my 3.5 and 4.10

How about Honeypot?

Try to implement CAPTCHA v3.

If you have the source code for your NOPCommerce:

In the CustomerController there is an ActionResult called Register (the second one). I have just today put a loop in there to check if the company name is google and if it is then return a text string.
Just put the code snippet below above all the other code in that ActionResult. You could even add a check for || model.Email.EndsWith("yandex.ru") and other provider names that you know will signal a spammer if they don't use google, or stop using google, as the company name.

            
            if (model.Company == "google") {
string spammerstring = "";
                // 10000 will take some time to do so reduce it if you are worried about server load
                // or remove the loop altogether (and the string declaration above)
                // and then just type the phrase in the Content()
                for ( var s = 0; s < 10000; s++)
                {
                    spammerstring += "Type your preferred text here, I use 'No F**KING SPAMMERS!' without the censoring";
                }

                return Content(spammerstring);
            }

It is probably possible to change the code to write the IP address to a new table and check against that each time for repeat offenders who might change what data they use. but I'm just going to try this for now.
