Do you allow guests to use the Contact Us form?

If you allow guests to contact us, might want to enable human verification for that.
Personally I use Q&A for contact us as I allow guests to use it.

Hmmm,is it a captcha, or a Q & A for verification?

If it is image human verification, I think some bots have featured out how to read that.
With Q&A. Just ask, for example, "what is the colour of milk?". The answer is not in the question and the question is not a math question like 1+1=?.
Bots just cannot think like a human hence very hard for them to get through Q&A.

Then it was probably a human, I would just ignore it, and see if you get anymore.

it was probably a human, i got to different ones in the space of 30 mins. There is no way anyone can sent a trojan or worm hack or anything without me clicking a link right?

Can just add that email domain to the ban list.
I know you did not ask for solutions, but fassim anti spam addon is quite nice.
