I contacted their team to ask them to gather more details so that we can use the Overseer to combat this in advance, but they're disinterested in helping so no assist will come from there. Fairly disheartening I must say.

Ah you mean elsewhere? Yes it's very possible spammers are already "building up" accounts for later.
