Does this sound too good to be true - it is! If you got an unsolicited email informing you of a great investment opportunity, would you invest? Perhaps you weren't fooled, but some are. When millions of email messages like this are spammed out into the Internet, it only takes a small percentage of victims to drive up the stock price of a thinly traded pink sheet stock. Fraudsters wait for the value to increase, normally to about double its value, and then dump their stock and cash out the profit. This type of fraud has increased dramatically in the past few months and is now under active investigation. This report takes an investigative look into pump and dump scams and how they operate for criminal gain.
