The UPCA thread on RB sure is interesting with the conspiracy theories flying around. Here's a recent sequence, that is sort of interesting:

UPCA NEWS! Please read.. Make $$$$ now! I will pay $5 dollars for the name of each UPCA investor. Just e-mail me at Biliebow@aol.com and i will arrange to send you $$$ and get your name and amiling/email info. $5 = 83 UPCA shares at todays close on the pink sheets.

why do you want to know our names??

I want UPCA investors names because this is valuable information as a database. There are many investment firms and corporations i have contact with that are looking for agressive investors like yourselves. Sometimes you lose but when you win the stock goes from 10c. to 10 DOLLARS! With your names and e-mail info you will receive information/prospectus for review of possible other ground leval opportunities. In my opinion.

What a moron. Why didn't he just say "I'll give you $5 if you sign up on the suckers list". I like the "in my opinion" disclaimer at the end! The only way this could have been a worse deal is if he was charging them $5 to be added to the list. Good thing that the UPCA thread had been warned about this sort of thing.
