This has happened to me more than once on DU where I get a weird reply to a post I made

This one is in French and is about a
purchase of an 8k screen TV in 2019
I am not French nor claim to be on the Internet
Anyone else get weird replies ? and always different posters ?

Last time it was something else this time. ..purchase of an 8k screen I never reply
Is this spam on du?
the OP was about medically treating a patient
should I be posting this question in community help forum ?

But I know some trolls dwell here and ocassionally get off the wall responses. I live by the motto “don’t feed the trolls” so refuse to respond.
