Eleven Research Team: Number of the Month May 2013
Berlin, May 22, 2013 – In March 2013, pump and dump spam struck back with a force not seen since 2008.

Once enough users have bought shares and the stock price has risen, the spammers sell – resulting in gains for them and losses for other buyers. In the case of a typical pump and dump campaign launched on April 19, the spammers bought the shares for as low as $0.22 and then sold them for as high as $0.40, causing the stock to plummet to $0.20. In this way, the spammers gained up to more than 80 percent while the victims lost up to 50 percent.
