Has anyone given a name to the art of including totally unrelated big board stocks in the press releases of small, crappy OTC:BB companies? For example:

Cardservice International, whose partners include First Data Corp. (NYSE:FDC - news), transacted over $6 billion in credit card transactions in 1998 #reply-7873484

ConSyGen's Counterfeit Cop has landed on another planet, www.planetshopping.com, with a ''hot-link'' back to Yahoo's (NASDAQ: YHOO - news) secured shopping network. #reply-7866720

What about the term "leeching", as in: "piggybacking onto a successful company in the hopes of sucking money from their unsuspecting shareholders"?
