Many potential investors do realize that it is a pump-and-dump scheme, and they hope to profit from the scheme as well.
If the investor gets in early enough, the stock is going up before it comes back down. The key is to make sure you get in before it peaks, and out before it gets dumped.
I agree -- just because I thought that 3 of the legitimate emails were phishing scams doesn't mean that I can't flag 100% of phishing emails as fradulent!
However I doubt that you will learn much more by looking at the headers and html source of the email (except that might make it easier to identify links that are abusing email client vulnerablities to spoof the link destination)
The one that threw me was the legitimate capital one email -- they are actually asking clients to click on a link that goes to capitalone.bfi0.com !
People still need to learn never to trust links in any email.
Please understand that what decided the washington case wasn't that ICQ had a save function, it was that the official ICQ clients saved all conversations by default, and thus the participant should have realized that the conversation was being saved: "The court found that since Townsend should have known about the default setting, he effectively consented to the making of the recording under Washington's all-party consent statute."
So in the two-party consent states, I imagine that if there are many different clients for a single protocol, the cop can only legally record the conversations without a warrant if the suspect is aware that the cop is recording, i.e. the official client records by default. If there is no official client, with irc for instance, I dont think the cop would be granted exemption from the two-party consent law.
Thanks. I forgot. Innovations won't exist unless people can make money off of them:)
Does the prospect of money even promote "innovation?" or does it encourage corporations to do everything they can to fight via the market against progress on the part of their competitors?

Since when does the concept of intellectual property benefit anyone at all?
I'm sick of corporations and their self-promotion
