My spam has gotten stranger lately. Some of it seems to be hyper-targeted (why, yes, I -do- suffer from ringing in my ears) while the bulk of it is shotgunned (you hear my mortgage calling me? odd, as I don't have one - nor a penis I might like to add inches to).
Some of the new strange spam can be chalked up to people not knowing their software. I'm assuming that's what's behind the messages I get that seem to be nothing but random characters. How do they expect me to buy something when I can't tell what it is they are talking about?
Below is the first of a new breed I've been getting - it's the ultra-polite stock pick spam. They actually point out that I should speak with my asset manager before buying, as the mailers themselves would represent a conflict of interest if I were to buy on their word alone. Rather refreshing.
It's a penny stock anyway - I wouldn't buy it regardless who recommended it. But still, it's pretty funny.

STOCK BUYER'S ALERT!!!
International Food Products Group, Inc.
(OTCBB: IFPG)
Buy At: $ .32
Sell Target: $ 1.25
SPECIAL ALERT...Wal-Mart Super Centers and Sam's Club Outlets stock
their shelves with IFPG patented food products representing a sector of the
food industry producing over $40 Billion in annual sales.
IFPG anticipates dramatic increases in both gross revenues and profits as the
magnitude of this alliance with Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) is staggering for a
company at this price level. The rewards and exposure gained from supplying
food products to Sam's Club and Wal-Mart stores, the largest retailer in the US
with annual sales exceeding $200 Billion, will solidify the emergence of a
breakout year with record sales and bottom-line profitability.
The results of IFPG's first full quarter with products on the shelves is
approaching which we believe will send shockwaves through this undervalued
and over-looked growth stock. It is apparent that these recent developments
have been perfectly timed as IFPG stock is at the beginning of an upward trend
while their products are now directly in full view of 5 Million Wal-Mart
shoppers weekly that are also potential shareholders.
The Company has recently signed several major contracts which will allow for
some of the largest international food companies to utilize IFPG's distribution
network to bring their products to the retail level. IFPG's food products division
operates under the name of Golden Choice Foods which has become powerful
enough to co-brand with Juan Valdez, the emblematic logo for the National
Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia for over two decades. The Juan
Valdez logo serves as a seal of guarantee that the brand consists of only 100%
Colombian coffee while representing one of the world's largest coffee factories,
having supplied major US food manufacturers since 1981.
IFPG presently has a back-log of about a dozen new and unique food products
manufactured at plants in California and Illinois that have similar dramatic
sales potential when compared to some of the hottest selling snack foods on the
shelves of every food retailer in the US. The introduction of these products into
the marketplace along with additional food distribution contracts will
perpetuate the shattering of the Company's own sales records.
Our research strongly indicates that IFPG's alliance with Wal-Mart, their
international distribution contracts, and their tremendous exposure at the retail
level will lead to skyrocketing earnings and a soaring stock price. With a
typical cost of around $50 Million to bring out one national brand, we feel
IFPG is very attractive for merger or buyout prospects by a major food
company.
