Recently have got some very weird users who make weird posts. Appears to be spam, as Googling the exact phrases shows the exact same message posted on multiple other forums, however most of these posts don't seem to contain any form of advertising, and the signatures don't either (no links whatsoever too) (have found one or two that do have them though).
From my search, these people appear to be targeting vBulletin and MyBB boards primarily. IPs are all from India, though different ISPs. The username is interesting as it's a first and last name written together, all lowercase and no space, sometimes with a number at the end. Email addresses appear to end in @sify.com or @gmail.com
Here's some examples:

Anyone else getting this? Also, does anyone really know much about it? Seems really weird TBH.
Thanks.
