   I'm getting spam on contact form 7 and the spammer is trying to get to this on my site http://www.site.com%23wpcf7-f298-w1-o1 so basically adding #wpcf7-f298-w1-o1 to the end of the URL.

   Any ideas on the motive?

   Thanks!

   Everytime I get them they usually come at least 3 at a time but from different IP addresses. There were several times where I received dozens at once.

   My contact fields are also filled out with random stuff like:

   Location field = VHDIAJjICYs
   Message field = It's spooky how cvleer some ppl are. Thanks!
   Try doing a search on that exact phrase and you'll see over 100k instances like that.

   Also, someone trying to reach my site at http://website.com/#wpcf7-f298-w1-o1 raises flags.

   Any tips or ideas you have would be appreciated!
