MetaSpam: Spam Marketing for Spam Services

Its a Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam World, oh yes it is. Techdirt: Stock Spammers Look To Expand Service Aspect Of Their Business via spamming, of course.

You know the spams you get that say some crappy little penny stock is about to shoot through the roof? Apparently some morons actually read these spams and then go and buy the stocks. Which allows the spammers to "pump and dump" the stock based on the small rise in stock price.

Now spammers are offering this "service" to companies via another spam campaign. And, of course, someone will bite and the cycle will reinvigorate itself again because someone's making money doing it. And if someone makes any money through spam then we've all lost.

People, please stop opening, reading and acting on spam messaging. Its detrimental to the universe and you don't want to be the one that breaks the universe, do you? I didn't think so.
