Illegal spam
Most of the spam I get is just annoying and I have entourage fine tuned to throw it all in the deleted items folder. I'll check every once in a while to make sure nothing got in there by accident and I came across this email:

CBCom, Inc. (OTCBB : CBCI)
Immediate & Strong BUY Recommendation
Huge Analyst and Newsletter Coverage for CBCI
CBCI will be profiled by some major analysts and
newsletters along with the release of significant
news regarding explosive sales for the Company.
There will be huge volume and a strong increase in
price for several days. The same groups that featured
ONNN will begin coverage on CBCI. ONNN exploded from
$ 1.94 to $4.13 in six days. We know for certain that
the same groups are going to feature CBCI and even better
returns are expected.
CBCom, Inc. (CBCI) is the largest and fastest growing
non-government owned ISP and Internet services company
in China. CBCI, our top undervalued HOT PICK, is the
only Company of its kind to trade on a US Exchange.

growth and CBCI's aquisition of many of its competitors.
We are very proud that we can share this information
with you so that you can make a profit out of it. It
is highly advisable to take a position in CBCI as soon

Isn't this type of spam illegal? It seems like the SEC would be all over this type of advertising. I feel like someone should report this somewhere, but maybe I'm over reacting?? On a related note: Where do spammers get my email address from? It's damned annoying.
