When it is a scam wanting to pump the stock to sell shares it is normal. These scams can't work without friends and they are trying to find friends to help out.
Typical scam. Evern with Bernie Madoff, it was his friends who did the majority of the damage.
But in that case, they didn't know it was just a scam.
I have no humble opinions, but I do have opinions and those are what I express in my posts. BUT...I have been wrong before and likely will be wrong again so do your own research and don't blame me if you are too lazy to do so.
