I understand that spammers post links everywhere in order to increase their search engine rank. But I recently receive quite a lot spams from the 'contact' module which are just strange. Here is an example of the email notification I receive:

As you can see there is nothing but a name in the message. What this kind of spam do for the spammers? What should I do to stop them?
