Anyone getting spam email on NTEK? Trying to figure out why its PPS is spiking with no news and no product.

Your attack on a stock that hasn't started trading yet is a first.

A. there is no e-mail scam, so why are you posting on this board
B. this was a shell company that was just taken over and hasn't started trading yet
C. you are going to get your sarcastic messages deleted. Your deleted reply to someone posting info about a new 8-K was "excellent find? how many MM's are on this?"

If you had to ask how many MM's are on this, then how do you have enough DD to post it's a scam on here?

Anyway, it looks like they are updating pinksheets.com and have signed up for free level 2 already.

Here's the link:

SCAM obvious, posting stuff on topic about the stock removed too fast to do anything - look it up - means another scam

edit - did not receive an email on it - but it is obvious

posting saying there is no charts on stockcharts and how you can request a chart and about L2 and if there are any market makers and saying I will look into it etc, but gone within nano seconds by the mod or whoever is just stupid and so obvious it is crazy. Can we not do DD on this site?

Is saying "this site" going to get this removed?

Has any one heard of ERP & associates or equity-research partners. I have been contacted by them and think there a boiler room scam.

According to Yahoo Finance's stock screener, 221 of 294 stocks which are up 200 percent or more in the past 12 months have market capitalizations of less than $100 million. About two-thirds of the rest of these high-flyers have market caps of $100 million-500 million. Biotech is leading the pack.

Last year the World Health Organization warned that ?the level of resistance to drugs used to treat common infectious diseases was reaching a crisis point and, if action was not taken soon, we must anticipate a return to the pre-antibiotic era with the entire population facing a ?superbug? catastrophe for which no effective treatment exists? (British Medical Journal, 320:1624, June 2000). ?Such organisms could make antibiotics useless by as early as 2010.? As a result, society may find itself returning to the days before penicillin, when millions of people routinely died from staph, strep, TB and other bacterial infections.

Buy this stock today, make bigger profits than the Wall Street Traders that have yet to discover FROI. A merger and acquisition mania is now underway in the Biotech/ Pharma space. Many companies are running out of cash as well as credit and some are closing their doors. It?s Capitalism at its? finest. The new kids on the block like FROI, those with world-class management, strong patent pipelines, and access to deal making will survive and prosper. FROI?s growth through acquisition business model, incredible management and advisors, and market timing make the FROI our 5 Star pick of the week. Pyro has also attracted impressive Scientific Advisory Board Members formally with such industry giants such as: Merck, Glaxo, Vertex, Chiron, Abbott, Bristol Myers Squibb, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, Hoechst Marion Roussel, and Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The stock is currently trading at the $0.50 level and is poised to explode as future acquisition targets are announced and current targets closed.

We are expecting a significant play this week for Solanex. An extract from their latest news release� The Board of Solanex Management Inc. (OTC BB:SLNX) announces todaythat Solanex has expanded the territories for the sub-license in their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for technology leasing rightsfor sales, marketing and distribution to Pyrolitic Hydrocarbon Gasification System and a Liquid Extraction Systems. The exclusiveterritories have been enhanced to include the country of Mexico. The terms and conditions for these rights remain unchanged and thisextension allows the Company to explore opportunities for the extensive oil and used tire markets in Mexico, especially at Municipal,State and Federal Government levels. Government agencies throughout Mexico are all very concerned about environmental issues especially as they pertain to used tires in local landfills. The liquid extraction system may well be of interest to the existing petroleumindustry in Mexico as it uses a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic solutionwhich separates the oil from its host (i.e. oil sands), but further use will be in a recovery of in ground; old capped/closed oil wells,low producing wells as well as low producing heavy oil deposits wherethe viscosity is too thick to economically bring the oil to surface.

OK - For many years I have been getting very odd requests to sell my product to suspicious types but know I am wondering if I was to follow up how do they scam me if I request a credit card payment up front of cash up front.

So I would not ever give them banking info if they said they would transfer money because I would assume they would somhow withdraw money instead.

I also would be wise enough to knopw if they over paid me and wanted a partial refund that I would never do that unless I waited a month for their cheque to clear.

I am obviously not going to follow up but am amused to and slightly interested in knowing how exactly the scam would work.

You would think that these idiots would hire someone that has a command of the language! ~G~

Nigerian Accused in Scheme to Swindle Citibank

By BENJAMIN WEISER
Published: February 20, 2009

Swindles in which someone overseas seeks access to a person’s bank account are so well known that most potential victims can spot them in seconds.

But one man found success by tweaking the formula, prosecutors say: Rather than trying to dupe an account holder into giving up information, he duped the bank. And instead of swindling a person, he tried to rob a country — of $27 million.

To carry out the elaborate scheme, prosecutors in New York said on Friday, the man, identified as Paul Gabriel Amos, 37, a Nigerian citizen who lived in Singapore, worked with others to create official-looking documents that instructed Citibank to wire the money in two dozen transactions to accounts that Mr. Amos and the others controlled around the world.

The money came from a Citibank account in New York held by the National Bank of Ethiopia, that country’s central bank. Prosecutors said the conspirators, contacted by Citibank to verify the transactions, posed as Ethiopian bank officials and approved the transfers.

Mr. Amos was arrested last month as he tried to enter the United States through Los Angeles, a prosecutor, Marcus A. Asner, said in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

Mr. Amos, who was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, told a federal magistrate judge, “I’m not guilty, sir.” The judge, Andrew J. Peck, ordered him detained pending a further hearing. If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison, prosecutors said.

The fraud was uncovered after several banks where the conspirators held accounts returned money to Citibank, saying they had been unable to process the transactions, and an official of the National Bank of Ethiopia said that it did not recognize the transactions, according to a complaint signed by an F.B.I. agent, Bryan Trebelhorn.

A Citigroup spokeswoman said: “We have worked closely with law enforcement throughout the investigation and are pleased it has resulted in this arrest. Citi constantly reviews and upgrades its physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to detect, prevent and mitigate theft.”

A spokesman for the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington said, “We are aware of this unfortunate story.” He said the embassy was not involved in the legal proceedings, and declined further comment. Officials at the National Bank of Ethiopia could not be reached by phone for comment.

Prosecutors said the scheme began in September, when Citibank received a package with documents purportedly signed by officials of the Ethiopian bank instructing Citibank to accept instructions by fax. There was also a list of officials who could be called to confirm such requests. The signatures of the officials appeared to match those in Citibank’s records and were accepted by Citibank, the complaint says.

In October, Citibank received two dozen faxed requests for money to be wired, and it transferred $27 million to accounts controlled by the conspirators in Japan, South Korea, Australia, China, Cyprus and the United States, the complaint says.

Citibank called the officials whose names and numbers it had been given to verify the transactions, prosecutors said. The numbers turned out to be for cellphones in Nigeria, South Africa and Britain used by the conspirators.

Citibank, in its investigation, later determined the package of documents had come via courier from Lagos, Nigeria, rather than from the offices of the National Bank of Ethiopia, in Addis Ababa.

Citibank has credited back the lost funds to the National Bank of Ethiopia, said one person who was briefed about the situation.

Dearest Rosemary, my heart goes out to you. Your prayers are answered. Your search for a patsy is over. While, unlike you I can speak and spell,
I confess I am less privileged and chronically short on funds. I am eternally grateful to your Imaginary Friend, God, for thinking of me in our time of need.
Your late husband Tom—God rest his soul—must have been a great patriot, going to war even though he had so much wealth. You sure don't hear that everyday!
But I am sorry you were not blessed by Jesus with children. Maybe it was all those Tom Collins' you and Tom Collins were drinking.
Rest assured that I will divide and distribute your dear late husband's money in ways that will only be said to be divinely inspired. One look at me would
tell you I haven't an ounce of vanity in me, so the acquisition of wealth will not be a problem.
Thank you for the honor of assisting you. Go to God in peace, Dear Rosemary.

Good Lord, Rosemary! Aren't you dead yet?! I bet it's all those Tom Collins you've been sucking up. Go, Girl!
I have been eagerly awaiting the funds you so generously offered some time ago, and feared that you had gone to Jesus before making me hideously wealthy. My needy friends and I are all set to go, making sure your gifts are wisely distributed, according to time-honored Christian principles of, well, you know—driving around in Rolls Royces, picking up gay hookers. Only to bring their sorry, sequined souls to Jesus, of course.
I will be contacting your bankers as soon as I complete this message. And, Dear Rosemary, may you go to your just reward
in the peace of knowing you have made many deserving people very happy, indeed. Go with God, already.

Finally, some exceptional good news;

E-Mail Enhancement
Melinda Peer, 10.14.08, 6:00 PM ET

Finally: permanent deletion for certain inbox-cluttering promises of male enhancement and slim-down products that e-mail filters have seemed impotent against.

At the request of the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, a U.S. district court pulled the plug on a sweeping spam network deemed the world's largest. It had generated 3 million complaints from e-mail users.

The defendants in the case include an Australia-based New Zealander named Lance Atkinson and Jody Smith of Texas, and four companies they control: ClickFusion, Inet Ventures, Tango Pay and TwoBucks Trading.

According to court filings, defendants deceptively advertised male-enhancement pills, prescription drugs and weight-loss pills, hooking clients by falsely claiming that certain pharmaceuticals were approved by the Food and Drug Administration and that certain products were completely herbal, safe and capable of producing significant results.

Defendants recruited global spammers to flood inboxes with promotions for bogus products that directed customers to the defendants' websites. They also misled consumers by promising certain security encryption measures for credit-card transactions made through online pharmacies. According to Federal Trade Commission investigators, however, the sites lacked the security features they promised.

According to the Federal Trade Commission's allegations, both Atkinson and Smith are liable for spamming. The FTC named Atkinson as responsible for product claims while Smith was named as liable for claims made on pharmaceutical products.

The Federal Trade Commission filed its complaint with an Illinois district court on Oct. 6 and said its Midwest region in Chicago is handling the case.

Another new one. This time they almost got the language right. They did learn to use a spell checker.

FROM:
Redal Notham,(Founder and Proprietor)
Joy Charity Home
Ballsbridge,
Dublin 4, Ireland.
joycharityhomes@googlemail.com

Dear Sir/Ma,
Kindly allow me to write you irrespective of the fact we have'nt met
before.I got your contact through an internet directory, hence I decided
to
write you. I would be very interested in offering you a part-time
paying job in which youcould earn a lot and also help our charity
foundation.

Firstly,let me introduce myself and the Foundation. My name is Redal
Notham. I am the Co - Founder and Proprietor of " JOY CHARITY HOME "
which is based in
Ireland. The charity foundation was established years ago by me and my
Wife "ANTHONIA NOTHAM" . We saw the need to help the
growing population of orphaned and abandoned children with absolutely
nowhere else to turn. So we established the foundation to render helping
hands of housing ,
feeding ,clothing and taking general care of this children until they
are able to help themselves.
Presently,our foundation is catering for over 200 children. And we have
helped lots more over the years.

Now we are thinking of expanding our helping hands to other parts of
the
World.It is well known that Africa has the greatest number of orphaned
and
abandoned children.We want to build an outreach of our foundation in
West
Africa.This will assist the under privileged
children in the Region.We plan to cater for an estimate of 1000
children.Our goal is to bring hope and future to
the lives of the children without mothers,homes and
family.We want to give them the best home, family and new mothers. It
will be
our joy to put a smile on the faces of the African Child.

Normaly,we dont collect funds from anybody inorder to provide charity
for children. But our next project in Africa will cost
lots of money which we cant render on our own. So i made contact with
some US
philantrophist in order for them to help us. Fortunately they agreed
and infact they want to start funding
us immediately. But we have a problem. The problem is that they said
due to
some reasons, they can only make out funds in Checks and Money Orders
which
could only be cashed within the US. This is a major set back and we
have a time-frame. I explained the problem to my lawyer , so he
adviced that it will be best if we could get a representative in th US,
who will be collecting this
funds on our behalf and send it to us in cash. This is why i need you
!!

At this point, I will be glad if you could work with us as our
representative
in the US. You will be working as my payment
assistant in charge of collecting and processing the payments from the
Sponsors. They
will be making the payment in Money orders / checks made payable to
your name, you will be
collecting this payments, cash them at your bank, then be forwarding
them via Western Union or
Money Gram. And for this service, We agree to pay you 10% of each

2. Cash them at your Bank
3. Deduct 8% , which will be your percentage/pay on any payment
processed.
4.The balance will then be forwarded via Money Gram or Western Union
MoneyTransfer according to my instruction.

YOUR PAY !!
You will get 8% from each money collected and processed. For Example :
yoy receive $6000 via checks or money orders on our
behalf. You will cash the payment and keep 8% to yourself before
forwarding
the remaining. At the beginning your commission will equal 8%, though
later it will increase up to
10% depending on our effective you are. We are expecting over the sum

Police warn of e-mail death scam
By Randi Weiner
The Journal News • February 23, 2008


An e-mail that threatens the recipient with assassination unless he pays extortion has begun circulating in Rockland.

Ramapo police have received three complaints about the e-mail in the past two days and wanted to alert residents that the letter is a scam and the threats are bogus.


"We were aware of this last January. The FBI was alerting police agencies about it, but we didn't experience any last year at that time," Ramapo Detective Lt. Brad Weidel said. "Obviously, for whatever reason, it's heading to this part of the country now."

The e-mail begins, verbatim: "I am very sorry that this how your life is going to end. Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the person has paid me a lot of money to do this job ... Get back to me now if you are ready to pay ... the only remedy that will guarantee your life is when you comply with every of our obligations."

E-mail scams are as old as e-mail itself. Usually, the recipient is told that he has won a foreign lottery or that someone with a large sum of money cannot bring it into this country without a sponsor. The scams promise a large chunk of cash to whoever will provide a bank account number or send earnest money.

Many of the scams are targeted at senior citizens, immigrants or other people who tend to trust what appears to be an official communication from a legitimate source.

A threatening e-mail message like this one apparently is not targeting any specific audience, Weidel said. It's a mass e-mail that probably has been created outside the United States. If someone responds to it, he receives a second e-mail asking for a specific amount of money to call off the alleged assassin, Weidel said.

Clarkstown police had one complaint about a month ago, Detective Sgt. Bernard Cummings said.

"We noticed it because we haven't seen that scam before," he said. As far as h e knows, no one in Clarkstown has paid up.

Someone brought a copy of the e-mail to the Spring Valley police last spring, said Sgt. Peter Russell.

The mail was traced to a computer in Germany, but there was no guarantee that computer had been the initial one that sent the threat, he said.

"People should make a report and complaint, and between us and the county Sheriff's Department, we'll get to work on it," Russell said.

Police in Rockland's other departments said they had not had any reports of the threatening e-mails, although several had heard about them through police department Web sites.

So far, no one in Ramapo has reported sending money in response to the e-mail, Weidel said, but the message cautions against alerting the police, so it is difficult to tell if anyone has taken the threats seriously.

"I have a detective who works on (e-mail crime), unfortunately, pretty much full time," Weidel said. "There's a lot on Google about this e-mail scam. It seems to be current right now."

Anyone who receives such an e-mail is asked to call the local police. Weidel said Ramapo police ask that recipients not delete the e-mail; instead, make a copy of it and call detectives.

"We all work with the FBI. We pool our information. By all the agencies contributing to the databank, they'll be able to figure out where it's coming from and putting an end to it," Weidel said.

"If you don't have a good spam filter, you could get it. We'd like to hear from (recipients). Preserve the e-mail, we'll make a copy of it and we'll take it from there."

W A R N I N G !!!!!!

Last night I received an email from ETrade, informing me that my account may have been compromised. I do trade, but I use Scottrade.

Here is what it looks like:

Only problem is the link does not take you to ETrade, it's pointing to some other site. I don't want to see anyone get scammed by these A@$ hole. Sorry if that offends anyone but that's just how I feel about those people.

Remember it's always safer if you receive an email like the one below to look at the link that it's pointing to, or enter the address on the address bar manually.

Good luck to everyone and let's stay strong, we've got six more trading days to see the quarterly results. I, myself am keeping a positive outlook, I hope that I'm right since I've not seen any indication for all the negativity going on.

IRS Warns of Scams To Steal Data With Offer of Tax Rebate


washingtonpost.com Staff Writer
Thursday, January 31, 2008; Page D02

Tax rebate checks courtesy of a proposed economic stimulus package have yet to be approved by Congress, but some scams are using the anticipation of extra cash to lure people into disclosing personal and financial information, the Internal Revenue Service warned yesterday.

Rebate-related scams are adding to the number and sophistication of fraud schemes targeting taxpayers, the IRS said.

Many of these scams involve official-looking e-mail messages that try to lure recipients into entering their financial and personal data at fake IRS Web sites, usually by saying the target is eligible for a refund check.

In 2005, the tax agency tracked four sites using some version of this ID theft scam, generally known as phishing. Last year, the IRS tracked 900 such sites. This year, based on the number of phishing sites detected in January, the IRS said it could contend with more than 3,700.

Phishing also can occur over the phone. In some of the recent cases, consumers received phone calls from someone identifying him or herself as an IRS employee. The caller tells the target that they are eligible for a sizeable rebate for filing taxes early but that the IRS needs bank account information to directly deposit the rebate. If the targeted consumer refuses, they are told they will not be eligible to receive the rebate.

Another popular e-mail scam tells the recipient they need to download and use an attached IRS form to properly file their taxes, or that the recipient is the subject of an IRS audit and should view the attached document. The attachments usually contain spyware that can steal passwords and financial data from the victim's computer.

The IRS urged consumers to access its Web site through http://www.irs.gov, rather than clicking on a link in an e-mail or opening an attachment. Those who receive a questionable e-mail claiming to come from the IRS may forward it to a mailbox the IRS has established for such e-mails, phishing@irs.gov.
