Seezislab.com
A collection of socks have been pushing Seezislab.com for one month, in violation of WP:REFSPAM. See Sockpuppet investigations/Remus00 for more information.

Examples of the REFSPAM abuse are:
 * "According to analysis by SeeZisLab service..."
 * "...which has more than 65 million views."
 * "By March 2017, the channel had over 29 million views and 133,9 thousand subscribers."

If we block the URL that these socks are using, the socking will stop. Binksternet (talk) 00:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * According to the SPI report, socking confirmed and accounts blocked. Was something missed? --Ronz (talk) 16:42, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
