I revert and warn Mocha2007 about spoofing the new message bar on his user and talk pages. Cocoandmocha pops up shortly after to remind me to AGF, having just vandalised my alternative account's talk page. As I haven't used that account for over a year and the Cocoandmocha account was only created 3 days ago, I rather doubt that Cocoandmocha came across it by chance. I also note (a) the similarity in usernames (Mocha2007 and Cocomocha) and (b) the fact that two of Cocoandmocha's precious few edits are to award Mocha2007 two barnstars. I asked Mocha2007 for an explanation, but the question was removed without reply. Just a bit concerned that we've got a inept sockpuppeter in the making, and would like to flush out any other socking accounts before s/he gets too addicted to them.

 * Reply to Mocha:
 * This sequence of edits is illuminating:
 * 15:37 Mocha2007 complains to about something.
 * 15:39 Cocoandmocha's account is created
 * 15:41 Cocoandmocha partially blanks JohnCD's talk page with his very first edit
 * 15:45 With his second edit, Cocoandmocha awards Mocha2007 a barnstar (a surprisingly quick acquisition of knowledge for a 8-minute old account).
 * That's more than a friend creating an account after an email conversation, methinks. BencherliteTalk 19:22, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, here it goes. An old friend of mine emailed me recently (we havent seen eachother for years) and asked me how I'm doing. I happened to tell about my wikipedia account, and he decided to have one too. He told me that he happeded to come across my page and notinced that a user was "rude" so he said he talked to him, blah, blah.

 * He never told me about the vandalism.
 * He based his username off of mine and his dog.
 * I humbly apologize for the confusion, I will email him back.

The comments were Moved not deleted. I accidentally cut it instead of copied it, I moved them to a document. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mocha2007 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Looks like it may just be meatpuppetry, but there is something weird going on. Taking a look. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 21:43, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure why you'd be emailing one another when you're editing from the same computer. ✅ that these two accounts are controlled by the same user. I don't see any other accounts. I'll leave blocking to someone else since this isn't too disruptive, but the blatant lying is more than a little irksome. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 21:50, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I've left a note on Mocha2007's talk page about sockpuppeting. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:02, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
