One thing they left out. Regulators announce that a firm is a "Boiler Room" and then do not tell the public what stocks they are pushing. Make no attempt to have the stocks halted and let them continue to trade. Years after when they are trading at ZERO announce SEC civil suit against companies for being outright scams.

Virtual boiler rooms manipulating stocks By Otis Bilodeau Bloomberg News Posted January 15 2006 The Justice Department has found evidence that stock manipulators have formed "virtual boiler rooms," using mobile phones and brokers from multiple firms to evade detection, and may pursue criminal cases against them, a government prosecutor said. David Esseks, head of the U.S. Attorney Office's securities fraud task force in New York, said his office is responding to a "resurgence" of efforts by brokers to influence the prices of rarely traded stocks that aren't listed on any exchange, as well as shares listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. "The best thing they can find is a Nasdaq stock they can manipulate," Esseks, 40, said Friday at a conference in Washington on broker regulation. "It's a gift from God because it's easier to sell." In the past, brokers intent on driving up a stock's price and then dumping the shares for a profit often worked out of single offices, which made fraud easier to catch, Esseks said. They now employ more sophisticated tactics, such as enlisting brokers at an array of "otherwise legitimate firms," he said. The practice of artificially inflating little-known companies' shares and then selling them was depicted in the 2000 film, Boiler Room. Salesmen in the movie worked the phones in a Long Island brokerage firm, using high-pressure sales tactics to cajole investors into buying often worthless stocks.

Invest in a Pre-IPO INFe Ventures, Inc. advises on Reverse Mergers and arranges for qualified privately owned companies to merge with existing public companies. This method of “going public” is a fast, efficient and effective way of gaining access to public company investment banks and other sources of capital only available to public companies. Prior to the completion of a reverse merger, opportunities exist for accredited investors to purchase stock in the future public company. These Pre-IPO investments are available to accredited investors through participation as members of the INFe VentureClub. Members are notified of these investment opportunities as they become available and are put in contact with the private company executives or their representatives to receive the Company’s investment materials. Investing prior to the IPO is often an opportunity to purchase equity at a discount to the future market value of the company’s stock thereby gaining an advantage over the general public who must invest on a post-offering basis. For more information on this program, contact the INFe VentureClub at info@infeventureclub.com. infeventureclub.com./PreIPO.asp
