I've been working with a developer to fix spam for a client. Supposedly he put the google spam filter on all the pages, but the client is still getting spam.
Is anyone having this issue?
Should I basically find a new person since this issue has been worked on (and off) for TWO MONTHS?
I didn't really find a lot about Russian bots beating spam detectors... just a few articles. And I'm not a developer so I kinda have my hands tied and need advice.

Has anyone else dealt with spam like this? The unbeatable?
Or is it because the dev is prob not doing a thorough job?

You probably need to describe minor details like what platform you're working on and such.

- eg. if this wasa WP-related problem, there are specirfic plugins that can help, as too removing certain files and functionality, etc.detritus
- "How do I fix Russian Spam on my site?" is an impossibly broad question to ask.detritus

there's no such thing as google spam filter.
well, there is but that's gmail's own spam filter you developer can not add or remove that.there's something called CAPTCHA though that you should implement on every form in your site.

Yes, and can the CAPTCHA be beaten by Russian bots?
