'Pump & Dump' spams for 2007

Here is the monthly breakdown of the number of 'Pump & Dump' and 'Share Ramping' spams that I have received. This scam involves the spammer buying shares in a worthless company. The spammer then spams continually about the company to get suckers to buy shares. As the share price ramps up, the spammer dumps the shares at a profit, leaving the sucker to lose all their money.
