Default SPAM Email To WordPress Site With No Email Address Disclosed?

Strange how i received SPAM email to my WordPress website where i did not disclose email address anywhere in the entire internet. I only had contact form on website.

How are these spammers able to extract email?

I think the harvesting bots have crawled your form and where it ends up.
