1. No, but forward them to the SEC
I'm sure they'd be interested in somebody trying to pump a stock.

I figure that once I have time to study them, they'll be the perfect match for all those lotteries I'm suddenly winning, and the amazing money I'm going to make with my new Nigerian business partners. God, I'm gonna be so rich....

6. Every single fucking day for the last 11 years.
Problem is, these spammers are usually causing as much trouble for the company they're touting as they are for the spam recipients.

In many cases, the company has nothing to do with, and has never heard of the spammers.

So the spammers end up with TWO victims. Any more arguments that spammers should be shot?
