Gibberish email with links from unknown person

Hi, I keep getting emails from this unknown person. The email is always some gibberish with links and his ip address is always different. I have been getting so much of these and it makes me worried. Here is an example. What does this mean? Please help.

First - don't post the links on the forum.

Second, are these emails coming through you Zen Cart or just to your email?

Hi Kim,

It's through zencart message contact. What do you think he is up to?

It is spam - I would recommend Form Armor - See the Recommended Services page.

If it was spam, why would it be some gibberish?

More than likely they are testing the Form script to see if they can use it to send out Spam. What is in the msg. doesn't matter. What does matter is that a hidden eMail address is also used which will receive it, if the form script is vulnerable.

Not sure how secure the Zen Cart eMail forms are and hopefully, someone will come along that explain that part in detail.

You could also ask your Hoster if they have Server security in place to prevent Client Forms from being used to Spam.
