EMAIL Hell - Just When You Thought Hot Stock Spam Couldn't Get Any Stupider

Bruce found this in my inbox today.

Okay, first off, since this campaign started a week ago, the stock price for DMXC has fallen from 5 cents to 3 cents. If it was ever at 50 cents (the "5 day price" shown above), then one would expect that the executives are currently throwing themselves off a tall buildings at the company's Kentucky headquarters. It has been at 11 cents twice in the past. Perhaps it will return to that level after the current spam campaign subsides. As it is, Delta is pretty upset at this whole business. The last blitz on this scale was for Hollywood Intermediate, who suffered mightily.

What really makes this particular spam special, however, is the suggestion that Bruce call his broker about it on September 31.

Yes, that's right, people. Not only do they expect me, a superior life form, to invest on the advice of a spammer, they expect me to invest on the advice of a spammer who can't read a calendar.

I am deeply insulted by this.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat
