But why does anyone take the time to type a few senseless letters in an enquire form ? A scammer would certainly write a real text and fake identity and phone number to try to get an answer. But this ? Are they just trying to get the email address. But why in this case would they bother to type so many letters and numbers ? I am really puzzled.
Fil, it was probably not even done by a human. They have a computer program that runs around the internet, looking for any sort of form to fill in with random stuff and on submitting the form they are trying to harvest email addresses - for later spamming.Fil wrote:..But why in this case would they bother to type so many letters and numbers ?

Perhaps if you build in to your form a radio button that is a required field, that will stop it? Just a thought, as we have a button that indicates that enquirers have read and agreed to terms and conditions and the form can't be processed unless it's checked. It may be coincidence but we've never had funny emails like that from our enquiry forms. We use bnbform.cgi from Bignosebird. It's a Perl form.
