I am running a website for a volunteer organization that hosts an annual event. There is a form where people can volunteer to bring items for the event.

All too frequently I get spam from users across the globe that enter things like this:

Country - 1: Australia

Material - 1: CELESTRON NEXTAR 6SE

Country - 2: Australia

Material - 2: C8 Newton

Country - 3: Australia

Material - 3: ETX 125EC

Country - 4: Australia

Material - 4: ETX 125EC

Country - 5: Australia

Material - 5: CELESTRON NEXTAR 6SE

I don't really care about the country, but what is it with the telescope stuff? Is there some hidden meaning behind all this or is it some astronomy group that moonlights as spammers?

Fmz, you… kind of inadvertedly advertised, that telescope to me right now.

And maybe you searched for it on google, and maybe you visited an online shop that sells it.

So I suppose they have a point about that. Not a direct sale, more of a branding thing.

Spammers sppam for everything: medication, software, even astronomy. If there's a way to make a buck by spamming there will be spammers who spam to do just that.
