Most of these spammers just emit events to a large range of GA tracking ids completely blindly, think of it as the equivalent of...
for (var i=0; i<100000; i++) {
ga('create', 'UA-' + i + '-1');
ga('send', 'pageview'); // But with a fake referrer
}
They do that a bunch of times per day from a bunch of different IP addresses. Adding host filtering to your properties on GA eliminates about 80% of spam which use this technique.
It's possible you're being targeted due to being in a specific market or something, but it's unlikely to be related to Cloudflare. (At least I can't think of any reason why it would be related.)
