For example I googled his post above and found the following:

Read the 2nd paragraph on the link, it's the same as the spambot's now deleted post.

Sky Shadow deserves credit as he spotted it first.
Well done guys on spotting that, what tipped you off Sky Shadow?

That is a pretty Bastardly effective method of looking like a legitimate post, it appears pretty darn human huh?

Gotta say though, it's a pretty extraordinary form of Spam, so much effort for such pointless means.
