Strange new trials starting in a bunch from same IP

Hi.

On one of my app, I noticed a pattern of some kind of attack: Every few days, a bunch of new trials start. Between 8-16 at once, all at the exact same time, all from the same Chinese or Vietnam IP (sometimes it’s also a VPS IP like DigitalOcean), but all with different anonymous RC IDs. They never convert. I then started manually deleting those customers, and a bit later a smaller bunch reappears (again from the same IP, but with new different RC IDs and a fresh trial start time). Since I check trial eligibility, those must all be different/new Apple IDs.

Did anyone notice the same? What can be done about it? And I wonder what they’re actually trying to achieve?

Thanks
