Not all of his posts are copy past spam however a good number of them are. He seems to be making a lot of them in the currency exchange section because few people are going to be complaining of the free bumps.

It appears that dblink is spamming random garbage in at least one thread. He posted the following post in my thread advising people to use escrow in the currency exchange section: (archive - reply #37)
One of the paragraphs in this article/website match the above post exactly.
Looking at his posting history, I found a few additional copy/paste spam posts:
#1 - forum post - (archive - reply #598) - this matches google search result website Pros and Cons of Prepaid Visa Gift Cards - the website has some special formatting so a browser search may not provide a "hit" when you search the entire post, however this exact verbiage is about half way through the article
#2 - forum post - (archive - reply #12) - matches Pros and cons: Gift cards vs. prepaid cards - at least in this post, a few words were deleted from the post, although the words deleted were of the author of the article quoting an expert regarding the topic.
There are other similar posts, however the above examples should be sufficient to take action.

Once upon a time, escrow accounts were optional for almost all borrowers. These days, lenders require escrow accounts on all loans with less than 20 percent down. Without an escrow account, the borrower must exercise disciplined savings practices, or face the consequences when the big tax bill comes due. If you do not have an escrow account, but you want one, most lenders are happy to put one in place for you. However, once you have an escrow account and decide you no longer want it, it can be tough to get rid of it.

Hey,
Do you accept a Visa Gift Card from Vons Grocery Store ?
They use visa.gowallet.com to check balance.
Thank you
Wrong gift card can sometimes end up being the wrong gift if not chosen carefully. Unfortunately some gift cards come with big activation fees which must be paid by the recipient before they use the card for the first time. The big activation fee can quickly use up the funds which the gift provider had loaded onto the card. Some gift cards are designed to be used only at one retailer.

Few information about Giftcards:
Gift cards that are lost or stolen may mean the consumer loses out. A thief has access to all the money on the card, However, if you've registered the card, you may get some of your money back, but you also may be charged a fee, Gift cards issued with Visa or MasterCard logos are protected by credit card laws. And state laws governing gift cards also can add a layer of protection, including requiring more disclosures or the right to redeem a card for cash, according to the Consumers Union.
