My daytime job involves editing content for the website of a government agency. We currently have a comments form webpage to get feedback from our visitors. The form generates an e-mail message that goes to a few people in my office, but comments are not posted on the website in anyway. The only information the form collects is the visitor's name, e-mail address (so we can respond), the comment itself, and what webpage the visitor was viewing before coming to the comment form.

Recently we have gotten a slew of comments that are very similar in many ways: the comments are very generic ("nice website, guys"), the e-mail addresses are all from the same free web-based e-mail service, and the visitors' names are all one-word Greek names.

(Usually comments are very specific to the website and kind of technical in nature.)

It's kind of weird to get these comments that are all the same. Could this be any kind of scam? Anything to worry about?
