Interaction Analyzer shows that these accounts all edited the same articles. The Freeze213 account and Mackrun account were created 2 minutes apart. The Veer promotions account was created two days later. The suspected socks have edited within 9 minutes of each other at minimum and edited the same articles almost immediately. --  Dane talk  22:22, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Notice the username similarity between Shiv Promotions and, as well as the overlap on O.P.S Bhadoria. Imspsk and Shiv Promotions are ✅ to each other and to be related to the previous accounts. The data, however, seems more consistent with the idea that these accounts are being shared by a group of individuals, rather than just one person. The situation makes me quite suspicious this is a possible WP:UPE ring—their contributions are promotional in nature, and they have asked how to get their articles listed on Google as soon as possible . , closing.

 * Data for all of these is now on CU wiki. Mz7 (talk) 05:07, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

It looks like a duck to me. The edit summaries for Shrisah include many of the same linguistical errors ("Permotinal", " .I am new") as the original sock. The account also registered and specifically began editing this article straight away as we saw with many of the prior socks. Suspect Undisclosed paid editing is continuing and requesting CU to check for additional socks. --  Dane talk  13:38, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Adding Ramd111 who also registered around the same time and went to one of the sockfarms other "target" articles right away and began editing it. --  Dane talk  13:46, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
