Back again, using a different url shortening site,
http://is.gd/. I noticed him when he first registered yesterday but he waited for about a day before he made his "official"spam attack :
1. profile link:

2. jpg link:

3.
http://elifeinsurance web.com/11f.jpg (this is the link identified via is.gd spam report)
I also noticed their
spam policy on is.gd:
We blacklist other URL shortening/redirection services we know about. This stops spammers creating "chains" of redirects to help them circumvent our protections.
I don't know how successful they are doing this, but if they can implement this "redirection prevention measure" on spam abuse, can FT achieve something similar?
