Is this some kind of fraud?

Maybe someone can shed some light on this issue I'm having:

I have a site that's basically a video sales-pitch with no other navigation (besides privacy, contact, etc..., etc... on the bottom). The buy button is hidden with javascript and appears after X # of minutes.

The only way to get to the order form is through that buy button - no other way to do it. And again, you have to wait X# of minutes before it appears.

I'm tracking each click to the order form.

However, I'm getting several clicks to the order form after varying amounts of time; mostly under 1 minute and definitely much before the order button appears.

Does this sound like some kind of bot traffic or fraud of sorts? Or could it be that these visitors don't have javascript enabled and thus the order button isn't hidden to begin with?

How can I make the distinction?
 


The latter, just non-JS-enabled browsers.

Though out of curiosity, what fraudulent intention would someone have when accessing your order form?

Oh, and fuck the Patriots and the Red Sox <3
