Latest "trick":

sending spam with lots of medium to large and occasionally well known names
in the subject line,

and in the body, a link to some article in biz.yahoo, or bloomberg etc.

so the payload for whatever (probably a penny stock) is supplied by one of
the various news outlets,

Basically those are innocents,

sample:

subject: Brokers-Call, Share Builder, Boise Cascade Corporation, Borders
Group, Marathon Oil Corporation

link: (almost the entire body)
http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=conewssto.....(incomplete)

The usual bogosity in headers

3 so far today, 2 using bloomberg, another biz.yahoo...

I have not pursued the links, I'm not interested, but I doubt these asswipes
are promoting the companies in the subject lines.

you'd have to own enough stock to be reqwured to report every transaction to
the sec to move them anywhere.

Also the turdlets are not even pretending to be can spam compliant.

Almost makes me wonder if a lot of the spam I get is purely sent to annoy
me.
