Ahooodfes participated in external link spamming campaigns promoting three domains: hoodsite.com, hoodsite.info, and mirabeauty.com. The suspected sockpuppets were listed in the COIBot reports on these domains:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/hoodsite.com
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/hoodsite.info
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/mirabeauty.com

See WP:RSPAM § hoodsite.com/hoodsite.info and WP:RSPAM § mirabeauty.com for details.

Requesting CheckUser to see if any additional accounts are in the same network, as the spam campaign covers multiple domains. —  Newslinger  talk 15:37, 10 February 2021 (UTC) —  Newslinger  talk 15:37, 10 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Kretingeer ( talk · contribs), Trading stratergy. Trefneoo ( talk · contribs), Outline of finance. Also links to investopedia.com, but I assume that the purpose of those was to hide this link. Outline of finance still has spam links. Also Gtrnfirtee ( talk · contribs).

• I blocked a few more, but I don't suspect that's the end of it. Determination about stales will have to be made without CU. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:16, 11 February 2021 (UTC) reply
• I see behavioral evidence to link the stale accounts to the confirmed accounts. Moved to oldest (Mettrisaab). Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 23:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC) reply

• Merged to Mettrisaab as the listed master was confirmed a sock of Ahooodfes, who behaviorally seems related to Mettrisaab. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 23:28, 11 February 2021 (UTC) reply
• CheckUser requested, since Ajept and Docsoline were not found in the 11 February check for the 10 February case. —  Newslinger  talk 09:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC) reply
•  Confirmed to one another:

  Ajept ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)

  Docsoline ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)

These accounts are  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to the master and the others. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC) reply
