I have a CF7 in one page, that actually isn’t working and I commented it out, so it does not appear on the site. But the interesting thing is that I receive spam emails from this form. Why this is happening?

If you commented it out using HTML comments WordPress still replaces the short code by a form which is just not visible to the visitor but it exists in your page source code
