Not Currently Updated

I started documenting stock spam in October 2005, but in November 2005, the quantity of stock spam became so large that I put it on hold. In mid-May 2006 I decided to take it up again on a trial basis, limiting reports to one per day per stock, but I gave up again in mid-June 2006 as the workload was still excessive relative to the importance of the issue. Others continued to do a fine job of it -- see the links at left -- but according to statistics from spamnation, the problem peaked in 2007 and dropped off abruptly in 2008, becoming a mere trickle in 2009/10. I'm leaving this blog online as a historical reference, but I have no further plans to update it, and I've disabled comments because nobody has tried to post anything but spam comments here in a long time.

Hello Stock owner,

We are a stock promotion company and we can promote any kind of
stocks. We are in search of serious partners with whom we can make
bussines together.That proposal is for you if you are:

Stock owner

You own an underrated stock and the market price of your stock is from
0.001 to 1$

We can increase the price of your stock and we can increase average
day trading volume. We can increase price up to 200-250% in 2-3 weeks
and also we can increase volume by 10 times each trading day. You
don't have to pay anything in advance. First we increase the price and
the volume, then you pay. We will prove it for 1 day for free.

Payment: Our price for that is 6% from the daily volume. We count it
by the following formula: (prev. close price + today open price)/2 *
daily volume.

WE GUARANTY LONG TERM GROWTH

WE PROMOTE THE COMPANY AND IT'S BUSINESS
