Stockhouse.com has a dispatch posted called "9 Red Flags That Identify online Message Board Scammers." While some of the points may sound like common sense, you'd be surprised how easily you could mistake a scammer's enthusiasm or disdain for a stock for objective investment knowledge. That said, here are Stockhouse's red flags: 1 Someone who hyper-posts on only one stock 2 Someone who uses multiple identities 3 Someone who repeatedly attacks or belittles others on a stock's message boards 4 Someone who emerges as the stock's moderator, or leader of the discussion group 5 Look for the poster with a short history in their profile who suddenly shows up during a stock run up and appears to know "all about" the company 6 Someone who is nearly always the first to respond to company developments 7 Someone who continuously hints at upcoming company developments, unreleased company news, unannounced contracts and forecasts discoveries in natural resource exploration stocks 8 Someone who hypes the company during the run up and then "changes" his mind and begins attacking the company, the company insiders and the project 9 Someone who goes out of their way to find bad news about the company and makes a "case" out of it Good message boards tend to develop a feeling of community and a lot of the big message boards do a descent job of policing themselves.
