Spam and no submission node [#1985958]

I have been getting spam submissions on my form for the past week and finally went in to see if they were coming from the same IP address. What I found out was that there was no record of any the spam submissions in the results. For example, I got 2 last night and they are not there. Viewing the screen shot attached you'll see only 3 submissions for the past month but I've gotten at least 10 spam submissions that do not show up. Is it possible that the spammer has figured out a way to submit this form without using the normal method? Thanks in advance for any help.

There a couple of possibilities. One is that the spammer is filling out other forms that just the one you're checking. The SID is shared across all webforms on the site, so it's possible that the "missing" submissions are just on a different form. There's a long-standing request to switch this to a less confusing numeric display at #218154: Display serial number instead of SID.

The other possibility is just that someone has deleted those submissions because they were spam. Do you have other administrators on your site?
