Ok well I don't know where to begin, but I have a site that has a contact form and I keep getting spammed by various advertising services. I'm currently using Google Adsense on the site and I keep getting all sorts of advertising sites that are contacting me through the form and telling me I should go with their advertising site. It's really weird because some of these ad sites are quite big and my site is pretty small (the site gets like 200 visitors a week). Some of these Ad services include Text-Link-Ads and Etyology. It's not someone playing a trick as I've contacted some of the addresses e-mailing me and I actually get a response (and yes it is coming from their domain). Is anyone else getting this, I mean the site they're contact is so insignificant too so I don't know why they would want to do business. Is anyone else getting these, and do you actually trust it..?
I faced same problem. But they didn't get me through the contact from, maybe they used WhoIS lookup and was sending spams one after one to my most important email address which one I used only for maintaining domains and hosting. But I didn't get mails from TLA or big ad services. If you think that they are getting you using bots then use image verification in your contact form. This may help you getting out from weird situations.
I get that all the time. Just wait pretty soon you'll start getting all the porn spam. Thats what happened to me. Sucks yo have the kids in the office and go to look at my customer service email and have that crap in there.
Most of these are automated so visual confirmation can keep them a bit away I started getting these then porn then dating stuff this is an hectic i had to close my email account
so far it's not porn (I have spam filter) and my contact form logs ips. I hand coded the contact form so capatcha would be difficult because it's ajax it's clearly a cut and paste job I think. Are you only getting them from ad sites because I'm not getting anything but sites wanting me to switch over to their sleazy ad system. One was actually called something like Spyware 4 Money
Ok some new idiot keeps trying to send me spam via my contact form (I'm guessing the person may be trying to use my contact form to send out e-mails to other people. IP Address is 69.226.255.155 . The funny part is the spammer is sending me links to various pages they've created that redirect to his drug site. But it shows me some various SEO techniques (some are white hat) that can be done to a page, I'm surprised where this spammer was able to put up a page (he has a page on slashdot, a page on the University of Berkeley, and he's using his SETI profile ..lol)
