Had a similar experience recently. A random person started repeatedly filling out contact forms for one of our clients. They were doing it manually, and they did it for several days straight until finally blocked.

It also left me wondering why that person would spend an hour or two each day for several days in a row, filling out online forms. What’s the motivation?

My suspicion is that the person doing it works at the company and was trying to mess with their systems. But I’ll never know for sure.
