Hmmm... I'm a mite suspicious now... Anyone else get spam e-mail from these guys? MrInvest@investprocentral.com... They're pushin' some OTCBB schlock... PC-EPhone, Inc. (OTCBB: PCPH)... In my case, they're using an obsolete e-mail address, the exact same one that was used the other day when NDB sent out their spam e-mail... Gee, I wonder where they got it from? If anybody wants a copy of the e-mail I'll gladly forward it to you. These guys have a PR/IR/company contact guy right out of Vancouver. Just the kind of crap I always tear apart. Boy, did they spam the wrong guy... Time to put on my "basher" outfit. You know... The blue tights and the red cape with the big bad "B" emblazoned across the back... <g> KJC

I wish I could claim that I had been drinking or medicated when I made that post. However, I can't make that claim. You are right. Old accounts are protected. New ones are not protected. It is obvious that Silicon Investor has a lack of concern over the security and privacy of their members. A password generator would enable one to hack into an account in short order. Does anyone know if there is a legal penalty for that kind of behavior as it pertains to a chat site?
