This is an obvious one, but watch out people, don't fall for it! It doesn't make any sense to begin with and the sender's actual email address is garbarled and ends with a Japanese country identifier.  Have a look folks and try not to laugh:Dear Lucky One,I hope this message finds you well. This is Elon Reeve Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of the Musk Foundation. Since its inception in 2002,

No idea who the sender is. From Russia? WTF. Never heard of any of the cc'd recipients either. And of course there is a link in the email with no accompanying text.

These emails are annoying because at first glance they seem legitimate vis a vis the subject line, "Delivery Status Notification." And the snippet: "USPS.com notification." But look at the sender: Logistics Services, and that is the first hint of a spam/scam. Then look at the sender's actual email address: item_56@tjspartakprerov.cz. Czech sender re. a United States Post Office delivery

On a quiet Sunday afternoon we have received an "Important Alert for Monday - Must read" email concerning ticker MEDA on the OTCQB. So we are told. Just from that we have the telltale signs of a stock spam campaign. Caveat emptor. Original message received with the hyperlinks disabled for reader protection.

Anybody else here from an unsolicited promoter of Biostem? Caveat emptor goes without saying. Biostem US Corp (HAIR) surged 71% (+$0.15 to close at $0.36) today on tremendous volume compared to prior average trading volume. There were probably other pumps, but here is one and hopefully if you're in this it's a momentum play and not with money you can't afford to lose. And who can afford to lose

Get Real USA (GTRL) remains the target of an email spam, pump (and dump?) campaign. See our coverage of the emails here. And here's the latest Get Real USA (GTRL) email we've received: How to get USD 1000000000 in cinematic business funding?!

Okay folks, need we even reiterate caveat emptor as concerns the string of Get Real USA (GTRL) stock pump emails. GTRL closed at $0.01 (a whole penny!) off by 28% on very heavy volume (for GTRL) of 1.96M shares according to Google Finance. Essentially almost 2 million pennies worth of stock was sold/bought. We're not talking about a whole lot of money, but still, caveat emptor. A separate GTRL

Full-text of Get Real USA (GTRL) pump appears below. We thank reader "Max" for his comment "I've been getting lots of these emails about GTRL since the 30th of April, but since the 15th of April I've been getting emails about LBTG, SCXN. Get Real USA acknowledges the campaign and even posts a disclaimer on their website: http://getrealmovies.com/ ." Here is the disclaimer Max referred to,

Get Real USA (GTRL) lost 18% on Wednesday closing at $0.0110. Volume of 887,000 was more than double average volume of 280,000 which is itself juiced by the recent spike in trading from the email campaign that continued overnight. Here's the latest GTRL pump.

Two emails received ahead of tomorrow's market open. Need we even bother to tell readers, caveat emptor. Get Real USA (OTC: GTRL) surged Friday May 3. Funnily, up $0.0027 or 27.27% according to Google Finance. Closed at $0.0126. That's right, just over a penny and a quarter. 1.35 million shares traded compares to average volume of 192,325.

What success exactly? 14 cents is far from 50 cents. PACWEST EQUITIES INC (OTC: PWEI) is shown to have a $135.2 million market capitalization on Google Finance. No s/o count provided. No financials provided either. Hmmmmm... PWEI closed at $0.139 on May 1st. Volume was about 28,000 shares against 536,000 average volume.

Sometimes it's interesting to look back on how the old stock pick emails turn out that we frequently find in our email. Last week we were told to "Get Ready!". Somebody said, "I'm So Excited About Our New Pick!" Well, who exactly comes up with a pick like Scout Exploration (OTC: SCXN)? Scout Exploration is a stock that on April 24th spiked up at the market open to about $0.38 from a $

The title of this post is the subject line of an email we received today. Plandai Biotechnology (OTC: PLPL) gained 6.67% to $0.32 on nearly 8-times higher than average trading volume of almost 200,000 shares (Wednesday 1 May market close). Plandai has almost 111 million shares outstanding, so the volume is a drop in the bucket despite the surge. We're talking about a company with a $35.5 million

This one came in on April 16th. Our prayers and thoughts to victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. And caveat emptor with Liberty Coal Energy Corp. (LBTG).

This email received during the day Tuesday concerning Pengram Corp (PNGM) (P_N G M).

Telpac Industries (TLPC) appears to be the target of a stock spam, pump-and-dump. An email received Sunday afternoon says there's a target of $2 on TLPC compared to its Friday close of $0.32 which is actually its Thursday close since no shares traded on Friday --- this is interesting ahead of a weekend stock spam. 7,000 shares changed hands on Thursday and TLPC traded between $0.28 (at open and
