Check out SMNC stock!

Predicted to be one of the biggest movers this week.

Go to http://www.pinksheets.com and enter SMNC in the quote box.

Congratulations to all that got over 100% return on our last recommendation.

This came in the form of a "Messenger Service" notification, which can only be sent using the "NET SEND xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx message" command. This is the ultimate invasion of privacy!! I suspect it came from the mIRC window that was open at the time. Someone could easily have grabbed my IP address from that. How long has this kind of tool been available?
