Question: Is there a way to report callers who are abusing your actors by creating multiple accounts and trying to bypass the free tier limits?
I track everything in my dashboard and I can clearly see list of free account users trying to hit via different accounts and orchestrating the whole free tier abuse calling it via API.
I would be helpful to report it somewhere as actor developers to prevent abuse.

It would be great if you could disclose the domain part of the client's email in cases where it's a well-known provider.
This way, developers could be more restrictive with free accounts from email providers that have low requirements for creating new email accounts.

Or add an extra layer of verification, like a mobile phone. And pass that boolean to the actor.

@igolaizola what do you do for your actors for protection against free abuse? I am constantly seeing new accounts with same pattern hitting us and abusing under free tier, so far 31 accounts and I don't think they will stop it, and not seeing any recommendation that I can do from apify side to protect it, do you have any recommendations?

I don't use third party providers on free runs, so I don't have to protect myself.

Although I report it to Apify whenever I see something strange
