Obvious UPE inserting spam links to zee5.com, and clearly the same person:, , , ,. It seems likely that there are other socks as well which I couldn't unearth by regular means, so a CU would be helpful. Shane Norton has also added spam links to dream11.com. bonadea contributions talk 14:49, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Some of the accounts below are spamming a different domain, myntra.com. A couple are doing straight-up UPE. That makes the behavioral analysis more difficult.

Can't blacklist zee5.com. As for the other two, they have rather spammy articles that reek of covert advertising. MER-C 18:38, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Account name a partial match to master; search on name links to a business called Infidigit Consultants, which does SEO work for a number of clients, including Zivame which this account created and those named in the first SPI filing. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:26, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

 * The technical evidence in this case subsequent to the opening of the case back in September 2018 has been less helpful. I would explain why except I'm concerned about WP:BEANS. That said, I think it's fair to say that Killer0709 is ✅ to at least Vishgohel, and that is a reasonable technical match and the edits to Dream11 clinch it behaviorally. Blocked and tagged both accounts. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
