Captcha, should you forget, is "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart".
So, Spammers are trying to get the human part, not the "computer" part. Yes many many anti-spam tools will check your text thoroughly, but images - that can be tricky. So as might be expected, spammers from time to time attempt this. The image on the right is such an example.
Notice how nicely the letters (fonts) curve the page with the drug names. Notice the clear instructions on what to do. Notice the bright clear red arrow.
Apparently, asking someone to type versus click is a big deal. Otherwise I might see more of these than once a year. Otherwise this spam deserves little notice. Then again, you never know.
