Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your write-up and certainly feel for you. It seems you did everything right.

Possibly the sign-ups were generic bots, trying unsophisticated contact-form spam. I can see how a wait-list and contact form look similar to a bot, especially one which is optimized to treat basically anything with an email address and a text field as a contact form.
