Sudden increase of spam activity on this forum

I've noticed recently that the number of newbie accounts posting messages with almost no added value whatsoever. Examples of these newbie accounts are (links redirect to the list of messages posted by the account):

    - trafficburg
    - liquider
    - dotmango
    - clickcrawl
    - dotlytics
    - dotvolt

Most of these messages are either service related questions (with very poor grammar). Examples of these kind of messages (taken from the list above):

    - What you charge?
    - Price
    - Package charges
    - What your packages
    - Price very high
    - Extremely expensive
    - What is your budget?
    - Facebook followers cost
    - Very good service
    - Cost
    - Portfolio

Other messages that make even less sense are 'bump'-messages on topics that they do not own. Examples linking to their corresponding post:

    - Bump
    - Up
    - Up
    - Bump
    - Bump
    - Up
    - Bump
    - Bump

None of these bumps are on topics that they own and make therefore no sense at all. I am not sure if this has already been discovered by anyone else and I am also not sure how much of a problem this is going to be, but this activity seems very suspicious (and perhaps simulated by some kind of bot?). Anyone have an idea what the reasoning behind this would be?
