I’ve been getting a lot of “penny stock spam” recently — unsolicited and bogus bulk marketing email trying to raise the price of various dubious stocks by purporting to be “insider” tips and investor alerts.
Today I received several that were particularly ironic — they were bogus “investor alerts” for some company called Epsion International Inc., “a leader in the fight against email based viruses, spam and outbound threats of corporate espionage.”
