Motley Fool Leaked My Address
April 28th, 2007 by greg
Motley Fool is an OK resource for learning about investing as long as you get past their almost endless sales pitches about joining their investment newsletters. They lost a lot of credibility in my book recently. This week I got spam from an address that I gave out ONLY to Motley Fool. This was REAL spam. This is part of body of the spam:
FRANKFURT Investors Watch Out!

This DOHC VTEC screamer had a two-stage intake and 8000-rpm red line
that went all the way I have a really nice stomach
Do you have a favorite Iron Chef? When we saw some of her portfolio
shots we knew we needed her–so much that we sent a photography team
out to the backwoods of the Sunshine State to capture her
Do you get any free time? We asked Taka Aono (the former SCCA Solo2
champion, and Formula Drift and Drift Association member) what the
advantages are when using a rear tower brace Who would you choose: a
guy with a swimmer’s body or a guy with a body builder’s body?
eramic type is less expensive to manufacture and will melt and fail
Not only is it a pump and dump scam it’s also obviously trying to get past spam filters. The sender address, almost which is almost certainly forged, is a gmail account.
It is possible that someone stole a database of contact info from Motley Fool. That’s no excuse. Thanks a lot Motley Fool for leaking my address.
