 Good catch. It's actually not all in one day. If you look at the Reputation tab and the Comments[^], the account goes back to at least October 28. That's still a lot of points in about 3 weeks.
If you take a closer look at the Comments, the name changed a couple of times. I wonder if there is a bug in the system where the "Member since ....." information on the profile page resets when you change the name. Either that or the account was closed and reopened or something like that.
I think this is one for the hamsters to dig into, so I am going to leave it alone.
[EDIT]
The more I dig into this, the more I have to agree with you. It looks quite shady and I have reported the 3 accounts.

I also looked through comments and reputation tab as well but got confused because of Member since.....
Whatever it is,looks suspicious to me.

Yes. Why not to consider this as Abuse?

Nope. Actually,to get the profile deactivated,5 Abuse or 5 Spam reports are necessary. e.g. 4 Spam and 4 Abuse won't deactivate it even if total is 8.The displayed result shows total reports.I think i should change the title of the message.

To add to Rohan's (rather brief) comment:
We don't edit spam because Chris specifically asked us not to - he tries out various spam filtering software packages from time to time, and if the spam we flag is edited it loses all context and reduces the effectiveness of the filters. Just flag it and the member, then report it here (as you did) and someone with the appropriate privileges will nuke the message!

Is there another reason not to modify the spam posts? I have made an observation that I would prefer not to make public. If you know what I am referring to and I am correct, a silent nod will suffice...
