    Well, today up 4.17% but it looks like no Rally today. Guess the spammers should have sold yday.
    Look at the chart, here you can really see the effect since the scam started monday

  2. Just lately I am also getting these spam emails about trading. This just started about 2 weeks ago.
    I have not opened any, so I don't know if they are saying to buy a certain stock or not, but the subject is usually something like what you described: "stock notice for Wednesday" etc.

    I wonder if they are getting our email address here from Elite :confused:

    Yes, mostly penny stocks - unshortable :eek:

    I started getting spams when I went public with my e-mail ID. Bulk takes care it but a few personals get sent there, too.

    I get this crap in the mail too. I don't know how it started but it got worse when I signed up for SFO magazine.

  5. just technical issue. turn on internet id tracking, some are bogus (they send emails via other guys' internet service), in this case, save their email contents in a database, pick out those key words: for example, "ALERT", "OTC",..... then put those words into the anti-spamming software database, next time when they send you emails, the emails are automatically caught and trashed and you will not see them totally, those guys will try whatever they can, so need keep doing that, after a couple of weeks, your email system will not receive them totally.

    in another case, i.e., their iternet site id is not bogus, then turn on the email blocking functions, trash those internet site id into the blocking list, next time any email from the blocked site will be automaticlly trashed and you will not find them totally.

    I wrote a small program to fetch my emails, so I will reject all emails not in my recognized email list. if I find some suspecious emails, I use my program to send lots of bogus emails to them to fight back and try to crash them (but lots of time those guys use bogus internet id, so can not fight back).

  7. The scammers don't buy the shares.

    They are way ahead of what you are thinking.

    Most of you will get very hurt trying to trade OTCBB and PK

  10. Hey loser, now that two of your threads have been deleted, are you going to spend the rest of the day popping into threads for advertising?

    Maybe hit a "100 post day"?

    I thought you had a successful business venture taking your time and energy.

    I think I got spammed from your posted website!
