Stock Spam: A Classic Scam
Overview
The "pump 'n' dump" stock scam has been around since the inception of stock sales. Today, however, after a series of fumbles by amateurs, serious Internet criminals are taking this scam to new levels, deploying it through images, PDFs, botnets and more.
In this white paper you will learn more about the criminals' sophisticated tactics. Plus, see how one particular stock scam in 2007 all started from a simple e-card to an unsuspecting victim in Florida, and how it played out for thousands of people either with or without the superior protection offered by a MessageLabs Web Security Services solution.
