User ptc-5208287 kudo'ing all posts?

Has anyone else noticed that user ptc-5208287 kudos posts almost instantly after a new post is posted regardless of what it is? This leads me to believe that this user is not a real person. 

 

@unknown

 

@Jaime_Lee ? Is this a real person?@Jaime_Lee

    I have noticed the same behavior.

     

    As soon as I post a comment a kudos arrives.

     

    Edit: except for this post.

    Nothing arrives

    It does seem odd that this individual has never created a single post...

    They've been a member since: 08-09-2013

    Last logged in on 08-13-2018

     

    ... and yet no post of their own.

    That's funny, I just got a kudo notification today that they kudo'd my post, today at 6:37 am

    Maybe an email kudo, so they don't even log in ??? 

    It's getting stranger by the minute.

    I just posted a response to a question and within less than 10 seconds, I had a kudo from the aforementioned user.

    Still getting kudo's from this user. And the user hasn't logged in to the forum since 8-13, almost a month.

     

    Possibly internal PTC trying to make forum traffic look more than it really is?!?

     

    It would be cool if this post was kudo'd Smiley Very Happy

      @StephenW

       

      Thank you StephenWilliams for calling this out again. 

       

      I assure you this user is under investigation.

       

      But, you are awesome so your posts deserve kudos!
