    Default Getting Suspicious Emails Using Contact Form - Hack Attempt?

    I keep receiving users sending the contact us form with nonsense random text with a weird url link this:

    From: qjoryipjgk
    Email: [email protected]

    Is the sender hoping I click on the url to activate some sort of hack attempt?
    If so, how do I prevent it?

    Thanks

    Yes, that's typical spam. Delete it.

    Don't click on suspicious links. Ever.
