Is the CAPTCHA a control we can use?

I'm contemplating adding a CAPTCHA of some sort to my Contact Us page. I suspect bots are submitting fraudulent requests for international order requests and would like to smite them.

I know. I said "smite". It sounds harsh, but I have a sorted past with bots and it's not a pretty story.

CommerceBuilder includes an ASP.NET captcha control that we use for the login pages. You are welcome to borrow it for your purpose. See the admin login page for example of how it works.

Awesome, thank you!!

Those whacky folks in <INSERT FOREIGN COUNTRY> just can't seem to get enough of my <INSERT PRODUCT NAME> and their <INSERT BOT TITLE> emails are becoming a hassle for my <INSERT SITE CONTACT URL>

Pressure is one of the ways the fraudsters work. They want you to think that if they bother you enough, they've got to be real.
