An example is when someone is getting a lot of flack for doing something shady and then an account with just a few posts come on and defend them. Then you check the account and all dozen or so of their post are similar.
+1 About four years ago we had a guy show us a fake Doyle, NAT'L card. Then a week later he tried to sell it on eBay, and when we said that it was a fake, he came on and claimed that he had seen the card at a show, it was real, and "I've been trying to buy it from the seller."

Leon banned him. If he had used a second account we may never have caught on that he was schilling a card that he himself owned.
