They are SPAMMING again. I have just received ANOTHER one of these SCAM dump-and-dump emails today.

I will forward yet ANOTHER SCAM email to the SEC. It will be interesting to see what happens to the company when the SEC finds out what involvement this company has to these pump-and-dump SCAMS.

Here is what the SEC says concerning these attempts at fraud:

Investors are advised to read the SEC's "Cyberspace" Alert before purchasing any investment promoted on the Internet. The free publication, which alerts investors to the telltale signs of online investment fraud, is available on the Investor Assistance and Complaints link of the SEC's Home Page on the World Wide Web www.sec.gov. It can also be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.

Investors are also encouraged to report suspicious Internet offerings (or other suspicious offerings) via e-mail to enforcement@sec.gov. A user friendly form to assist you in making a report is available at the SEC Home Page www.sec.gov.

Investors can also mail a report to SEC's Enforcement Complaint Center, Mail Stop 8-4, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.

If you have received a spam email recently on this stock, please report it now. Add to the STACK of complaints that the SEC has received on this company and their stock SCAMS.

Ive been getting that and other similar 'pump and dump' emails for years. Ignore them. Your wallet will thank you.

They are usually foisted by mafia types or stupid teens who think they are above the law.

Well considering they arrive in the same mailbox and in the same batches as the HORNY TEENS WANT YOU NOW!!! and other crap emails, I just toss them.

 

[rbhawcroft]

have you seen how amateurish their web site is?

i sent mail to abuse@fbi.com and anything@nasdaq.com
maybe they will look for dodgy stock brokerages taking significant stakes in the the stock.

I get these on a daily basis - is there anyone I should forward them to in the Gov?
