Stock Market Schemes and Penny Stock Spam (2005)

Listed below is a collection of email messages containing “get rich quick” stock offers, many of them involving so-called penny stocks. Such offers may or may not be legal, but they are almost always bad investments. The gimmick behind such offers usually involves getting a large number of people to buy a cheap penny stock, thereby running up its price since it trades at a low volume. The initiator of the scheme then dumps his own holdings at the peak of the run, making a profit for himself and driving the price back down again. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission provides additional information on these “pump and dump” schemes. Please note that in some cases the companies named in the spam may not even be aware that the spamming is taking place: they may be the victims of disreputable third-party advertisers. There are many reliable sources of investment advice available elsewhere on the web which provide further information.

If you’ve lost money in an online investing scheme, a Nigerian 4-1-9 email fraud, an identity theft scheme, or one of the many online lottery scams, you may wish to contact an attorney or financial advisor in your state or country.
