I've received a lot of spam from bots scraping my CV, which has been made apparent by the fact that they contact me via information listed only on my CV.

If someone is incapable of taking 2 seconds to enter (or copy and paste) a few letters, even on mobile, then they are probably someone I'm not interested in working with anyway, so this prevents everyone from wasting time. Life is short. :)
