Noticed earlier today,
blogspamming for the same construction company. A little further digging shows that everything they have posted is blogspam, one spamming operation with multiple accounts trying to snowshoe his spammer-for-hire operation to stay under the radar.
Reading the users posting history, noticed a host which had triggered my spamdar in the past. https://voat.co/search?q=domainevaluation.blogspot.com, which then pulls the following user accounts into the investigation.
gillaparkson being the account which originally (months ago, before the spam purge started) made me suspect spamming.
From MarkHooke_1:
thewebsiteobserver.blogspot.com gives us the following additional user accounts
thewebcheckking.blogspot.com gives us the following additional user accounts
From mikeeldd231:
creatingbetterbusiness.wordpress.com gives us the following additional user account
From billyerickson6:
schoolofnaturaltherapies.co.uk gives us the following additional user account
so that's 19 accounts working as one.

WOW! Amazing work!!
Getting these plugged in now for review and banning to Putts

If you entered these individually, they would have made it in, but that's insane to work it like that. It was easy enough to copypasta and massage with some concatenation and some hyperlinks in the spread sheet. Took me minutes when it would have taken you easily over an hour to enter these. I hit a few of the hyperlinks to see where these were landing and have added a few subverses to the list for cleaning or outright deletion/disabling.
This was a big nest, FPK, and I suspect we'll see some knee jerk stuff from these spammers; I wish we were a bit more ready for them than we are.
OT1: I'd like to get your thought's on a few subverses that have been created by one dude; on the surface they appear pretty innocuous, but when you follow the trail and hit the archive, there's options for downloading--this is was spooks me a bit and I didn't open any of them. Could I get your take on these? All subs by this guy: https://voat.co/user/goranko
OT2: Concerning the subs that are about to be disabled or deleted, do we want to take a look at these to add any domains to the ban list before the posts disappear? I'm guessing that many of these are now defunct and I'm leaning toward just catching the domains as they roll in. Thoughts?
