Suspected sockpuppets

Contrast Draft:Dodwell Solutions Limited with Draft:Hornsom Consultancy (these pages will probably be deleted very soon and the users blocked), created minutes apart. Both pages are almost identically formatted. Both pages are copies of the about page of the respective company + http link to the company in the first blurb. Both users are named after the companies. This smacks of a batch of undisclosed paid editing submissions (to build up URL score for SEO maybe?), and using multiple accounts to evade scrutiny as a paid editor is against policy.

Requesting CU to see if there any more of these, as it seems they spend a few minutes on each of these creations... This two accounts will be dealt with soon enough via UAA, but CU would be useful to uncover possibly more of them.  Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 07:39, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Both accounts already blocked for spamming; without a more conclusive CU result, I'm minded just to close this as no further action.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
