A couple of sources for contact creation are, When someone places an order When someone submits a form Webhook Received automation Manual contact creation Importing contacts using CSV Auto import from WP Users A possible source for the fake contacts would be a FORM where captcha is not enabled, so bots can submit the form, and the form submit action can create the contacts.
