Pump-and-dump scammers issue German prospectus


The fraudsters behind pump-and-dump stock spams are trying a new technique in a bid to fool spam filters. Junk mails promoting worthless stocks seen this week are appearing with an attached PDF file.

Typically titled "German Stock Insider", these PDF files purport to offer insider tips and contain more detail than is generally the case in typical pump-and-dump scams, even going to the bother of adding logos and the like for added "authenticity".
