Spam bots are computerized attempts to get into the site, so it can then flood the site with items for sale (IE: porn, clothes, anything but on topic cars stuff). There are millions of attempts a day, across the world, all looking for that one site that does not have it's security up to snuff, attempting to get user information, or saved passwords, or any number of things.
Kind of like spam texts, emails, or phone calls about the extended warranty on cars you sold 20 years ago. It cost very little to send them out, and all it takes is one person to bite to make the scammers/spammers day.
