Might take a while, had another (or the same) a little while ago.
They work on clicks and they want someone to click their link.

As for spammers its only a suggestion so I thought i would share. We use the following ones bellow and it cuts out 99% of them and saves a whole bunch of time on the moderation side of the forum due to spammers.

Cloudflare = we use as its free service
Stopforumspam = we use as its free service
Akismet = we use as its free service
Honeypot = we use as its free service

Things to do in the back-end
Security Question for Example [what is the name of this site] Usually spammers get caught here :)
reCAPTCHA = easy on humans harder on spammers

Hopefully this can help all you hard working moderators! ;)
