Yeah i have a contact form and i have many dozens of absolutely spammy requests each day, many of them looking legit, but obvious auto-generated to catch my attention because they appear to be coming from genuine clients at first glance. Kept wonder why is someone (apparently many people or entities!) are doing this. What is the upside? What are they trying to achieve, let's say i bite and waste my time replying to it, then what?

Its about mass and leads to 99% to some scam. I don't think thats a lot of people but someone writes software for this type of thing and others buy it and they then do all the same thing.

Sometimes just an impression (visit of your page) can get you money.
