Stock Spammers – Don’t Buy These Stocks
Nov 27th, 2006 by Don Ray
I have recently started receiving an enormous number of spam emails that are promoting stock. I have decided to identify the stock name and stock symbol. If they have to resort to spam to generate sales, they have to be a sorry company. “Pump and Dump” individuals that want to make a quick profit typically put out these emails. Apparently it works based on the Google Search for “Stock Spammers” that I did.
While my software puts this spam in a special file, I still have to review it to insure a valid email wasn’t caught with the chaff. Now at least they will start showing up on Google searches as spammers.
I am bored updating this post, so this will be the last update. For more information do a search on Google on Pump and Dump Spam.

yeah, I’ve been getting a lot of those too! I can’t believe some people actually fall for that crap.
I see they have caught a few folks sending them out, One person claimed to be making 10s of thousands of dollars a day.
Don I can tell you that I am very tired of all this spam getting into my Outlook and even that I have my setting on high I still get spam. very annoying.
I understand Ramon. LashBack helps me, but it isn’t foolproof either.
