Ask HN: What kind of spam is this?
Lately I've been receiving weird messages from the contact form of my personal website (which has no spam protection at all).
I don't know a lot about spam, but I've always thought that spam usually appears to link to legitimate sites that then lead to shady product offers. However, the messages I've been getting seem to do it the other way round.
Below is an example. I just don't understand why anyone would do this. What's the motivaiton behind this? I'm curious.
Name: Savannah

- michaelgrafl 13y agoThat's a great answer to a retarded question.
- pyvek 13y agoProbably the spambot mistook your contact form to be a comment form. Name, Email and Comment/Message are fairly common in comment forms.
- martey 13y agoThis is probably a spambot that did not realize that it was a contact form. Many websites' comment forms only have name, email, and message fields.
