 * I have been using this free plugin for a few years now. I love it.
    Recently,
   in the past week, I’ve noticed that I started getting some spam (roughly up to
   10 a week).
 * I would like to know how to combat this.
 * Thank you

 * Me too. I have asked if they could beef up the verification a bit by asking a
   simple math question that changes every time the page is loaded instead of “enter
   any two digits”. I manage several WordPress sites using VFB Free and once one
   gets a certain spam, they all start getting the same one and I have noticed that
   the IP address of the spammer is usually the same for any given submission topic
   even though the email address changes so I block the IP address with Wordfence.
   So far I’ve only had to block 3 IP addresses but I’ve had to do that on about
   5 sites. They are targeting the free version and have automated the process to
   entering any two digits.
