It looks like it is a spammer...

Perhaps, but it looks like it was filled in automatically, which could be a real headache if these web forms are susceptible to that. Can I add a captcha box to prevent this?

hehe ok, couldn't resist that cuz so many people are reluctant to put the captcha/recaptcha in there thinking it's no big deal. I can tell you 1000% it is a big deal lol. Even with it you still get random ones here and there, but not too many.

Wonder if it can be made harder or easier? if there's a setting for that?

I want to keep out spambots but not legitimate clients.

No worries, legit clients will already be used to filling out a captcha for many sites I'm sure so you can adjust the difficulty of reading it if you like to make sure that it's not easy to mimic for bots. I have mine set on the most difficult to read one and it works out pretty good so far.

I just tried it and it worked, but some of that is hard.
