    Default My Website - Members using User@rediffmail.com emails ??

    I am in Process of Updating my website purley to learn wordpress and have allowed people to subscribe.
    Only have been playing around with it so far but have had 3 people join as Subscribers and all 3 had a User@rediffmail.com email address.
    Sounds fishey to me so I have deleted their accounts.
    I have no idea who these people are or why they joined as Website is not even finished as yet.
    I have a Client who wishes to use wordpress on her website that she whats updated ( I did Original website for her 8 years ago )
    Her site is a Little outdated and she would like to use Wordpress and also wishes me to be able to do most of her work but she wants access as well which is why I'm using my own website to learn about it.

    Has anyone had these people add them selves as subscribers to their websites ?

    Think you'll find they're bots doing the sign up, not people as such
