Have you tried akismet? Blocked every single spam message for my website ^^

Edit: Not sure if you mean spam in comments or spam as in mail, if its mail I would suggest using contact form 7 along with their built in Google Recaptcha.

We are already using contact form and a captcha, we still get lot of spams… will try to use google recaptcha and see if that stops the spam.

Thanks for your help.

  I am assuming you are referring to http://www.aalpha.net/office-location/
  
  That is not a secure captcha at all, only 4 letters, easily readable, that doesn’t even represent a challenge to most of bots.
  
  Switch to Google recaptcha and tell me how it goes ^^
