@spacegremlinThey are known as "fake accounts" and are a problem for all sites, not just oscommerce. To stop them, in the Honey Pot addon. Once installed, be sure to delete the known fake accounts in the Check Account section. Leaving fake accounts active is a security hole.

A few years ago, and maybe still, there was a company that was paying hackers if they could show how to get into sites. That caused an increase in fake accounts. But some just do it for their own gain or joy.
