I've faced the same issue with my website, I've first try to use recatcha, but if this seems to works fine with robot, it does not with human, and I strongly believe that spammer are now using more and more cheap labour do to the dirty job.

I'm now using a combined solution
recatcha to get rid of the bot and by default comments are not published on the webiste but I get an email for each comment with 2 options
- publish
- spam

The link will poin to a uniq url and the comment will be display or removed from the db. (don't forget do optimize your table once removed )

Bear in mind that if you let spammer on your website, your website quality will be impacted and search engine might drop your ranking.

Good luck, the number might drop once the spammer don't see the spam on the webiste, I'm still facing having 30 spam comments per day, i'm sure they will learn at some point.

I've also notice that they create account from the same domain like tom.com, in your user account creation you could also black list some of them. It will never be 100% but if the target is too hard, they might just give up on you!
