Sockmaster just created an article about the Dubai Duty Free Company which at first glance seems to be a copy-paste from a certain website. Upon checking the paragraphs via Google, I saw the user page of the sockpuppet and it shows an exact copy of the article plus the references' hyperlinks. Upon checking the master's userpage it shows that it is a COI account of a certain high-ranking member of the company stated in the article and the puppet account was for the company itself.

 * I've softblocked CTine, since that appears to be just a renamed role account for Mcolm, and left Mcolm a note on using only one account. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
