Further checks – specifically, googling for "The newest registered user is loisanna" – bring up other brand-new forum memberships under the same name. I'd rate it at 99% spam. And 1% "filler". ;)

Watching loisanna - her registered email is from a company called rediffmail - which itself looks legit - one false move though and the sword will fall...
