    Why repeat the payload of the spam?

    Because I'm not sure it is. The poster certainly refers to it a lot, but then it's similar to mentioning eBay, Gumtree etc.

    However, it'll do no harm to edit my post. :)

    It's not similar to mentioning eBay or Gumtree, because they don't sign up and post about themselves and just themselves.
    You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'

    The poster doesn't always mention the offending brand, and they post at length, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

    However, let's both report the post as spam and see where that goes, eh? ;)

    It is designed to go under the radar. Spammer joined up a month ago and posted 3 times without mentioning. Seems to have posted a lot today, mostly with the payload, but the relevance of the content is poor, although better than many spammers.

    He seems to be PPR'd now.

    I found this threat having seen the payload mentioned on another of the posters replies. I gave up counting his posts mentioning the same payload after getting here, the sixth such occasion, it is spamming pure and simple and is reported as such

    To me, the poster's efforts seemed rather more like a delivery of "The Watchtower." :)
