New type of stock spam may confound antispam engines

New type of stock spam may confound antispam engines

Well, recently our honeypots saw a wave of a new style of stock spam pushing Angstrom Microsystems stock.  According to the folks at Spam-List, their quick analysis shows that started on Sunday.  Zero revenue, but the promise of future revenue.  

The Pink Sheets has put this on their Caveat Emptor list (would be great if Yahoo and Google started doing the same thing for these types of stocks).

It hasn’t helped the price much, but volume sure has benefited.

You may see a wave of this spam as antispam engines adjust.
