Looks to be one of this new generation of spambots, as the replies seem to be randomly generated using keywords from the threads the posts are made in.

 

Following this recommendation from stoffe -

 

This particular brand of spam bot seems to initially make a batch of nonsense posts in broken English (maybe auto generated using keyword recognition from the thread?) and then a week or two later post the actual thing it's trying to advertise.

 

In my opinion it might be just as well to delete all their posts and ban on sight if you're certain it is one such bot, since they'll never post anything meaningful on the forum anyway. Might as well stop it at the pointless spam stage and not let it deliver the intended message later on.

 

I thought it best to ban him now rather than later.
