Hi, I wanted to know your price.

I really, seriously, can't figure out what the point of this spam is! Do you know? It's a short message in a seemingly randomly selected language which always translates into Hi, I wanted to know your price.

It's not advertising anything, it's not spreading propaganda and there's no follow up for any kind of extractive scam, not for information nor money.

These are the different samples of the messages I've seen posted:

Прывітанне, я хацеў даведацца Ваш прайс.

Hi, I wanted to know your price.
Zdravo, htio sam znati vašu cijenu.

I've seen the following IP ranges. And big surprise they're from the Russian Federation.

185.39.19.0/24 AS216341 OPTIMA-AS OPTIMA LLC (registered 2025-03-11)  
45.89.70.0/24 AS50340 SELECTEL-MSK JSC Selectel (registered 2017-10-16)

It seems like it could be the first, automated, step of a phishing scam -- and a successful post would trigger manual action. But, I'm gonna assume the operation fell apart at some point! Someone simply forgot, or was unable, to turn the bot off. Based on a few Google searches it seems this has been going on for many years!

Anyone else knows more?

Hello for all that unfortunately stumble here, this virus happened to me.

Similar Russian IPs & exact same premise. International contact forms with various languages asking the same thing in these contact forms.

Be vigilant and don't install anything untrustworthy.
