OK let's assume they are all pump&dump. Is there not a bit of profit to
be made from them anyway? Say the spammer is talking up XYZ Baloons at
100 - absolutely guaranteed to hit 200 by the end of next week. At the
open it has probably already hit 110. Get in there and immediately put
in a limit sell for 115 on the assumption that he is going to dump at
120. I don't know what the numbers are, but presumably having a look at
a bit of history would show up a pattern and thus provide the basis for
a relatively risk free scalp trade.
Fortunately my ISP uses an excellent spam filter so I only occasionally
get to see this stuff - about one every three weeks, up from zero a year
ago. Maybe they don't bother with "foreigners" but I don't think so.
Is anyone prepared to provide the list with sharenames and "spam-date"?
Perhaps someone has already done some homework.

Yes... FWIW, this flurry of pump-and-dump scams is very similar to
intensity
of the traffic I was receiving just prior to the 2000 top in equities
...as
soon as they hit 6 a day, I plan on buying puts with both fists ;-)
