Excuse the inconsistent dates, but this spam will be listed as August 27. I was
out of town and unable to combat this scam in my normal timely manner, as will
be the same with the next couple of reports.

Why should I trust an investing company that can't even be bothered to reveal their
name in an email? Sounds like a scam to me!

Here's where the scammers hail from, as indicated from their web page:

OK, let's do the whois stuff:

This guy simply does not get it. This scam is going to get it's own page due to
their excessive unwanted mailings. To top it off, this is not email fraud, it
is normal mail fraud.

Again, CyberPromo trash. I'm not going to do any more work than I need to on this one.
Also, as expected, relayed via WorldNet. No surprises on this one at all.

Oh joy. Another MLM scam. Only $200 to start me up. Joy, just want a don't want.
His name is Tom Cooper and he wants to rip you off.

This scammer is taking no measures to mask his address, although the address is most
likely bogus.

Let's just get to it, shall we?

Some specialized IPO I am not interested in. Why am I not interested? Simple,
because I've never expressed an interest in it. I basically authored a rude
response back. This is not your typical spam because this was addressed to one
of my accounts rather than a mailing list. Still, spam is spam, and spam must
be crushed.

So, with out further ado:

Their research showed this might be of interest to me. Apparently their research did NOT
turn up my anti-spam section. Gee, more crap I don't want. Just for clarification, I'm
currently getting a better value for what I need at MediaCity than what this place can
offer.

No attempts to hide their path. Thank goodness.

Gee, thanks for the one-time mailing. Lying assholes. What a bunch of sacks of crap.
That's twice I've gotten this crap. Time for a mailbomb.

Well, more spam from these folks. At least now they FAIL to mention this is a one-time
mailing, opening the doors for them to keep spamming people.

No new lookups to report. Everything looks the same in the headers.

This should be an interesting spam. From where I am located, this is a relatively
local spam.

The truth about bulk email was not addressed, in fact it was avoided in order to tell
lies. Now I am expecting to see some pretty interesting stuff in the whois look-ups.
The "juno.com" remove address should be interesting. I'm sure Juno will gather those
requests to respam them. That seems to be what Juno does best, allow spam and ensure
others get spammed.

A truth this idiot over-looked: If I don't want spam, then the spam is illegal. Simple.
Just like junk mail laws.

Not much in the email as far as revealing the location of the company. Best I
can do is provide the phone number, although they do accept all forms of
payment, to make their scam that much more efficient.

Yeah right. Friendly mass mailings and web hosting. They already started out
wrong.

They try and make them selves out to be different by calling the other people
sending this sort of spam the "Dark Side". What is this crap? This is the
internet, not Star Wars. These dorks are no better than those they try and
slam. They might want to practice what they preach. Of course, since they are
hiding their tracks, there is no incentive to be honest.

If you are one of the dilweeds who sent me unsolicited email or are someone thinking about it, drop dead.
Also, if you've got a complaint about my anti-spam feelings or want to scold me for being justifiably sick of spam, I have the following words of wisdom for you:

YOU'VE COME TO THE WRONG PLACE!
