How Does the Scam Work?

Shysters hoping to benefit from short selling will do so by perpetrating fear. They use online personas that imply they are with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the National Association of Securities Dealers. And use these associations to pump up their reputation for spotting worthless stocks. By cluttering message boards and forums with lots of negative messages, short seller con artists try to make it as difficult as possible to find positive information regarding a particular security. They say things like, "Get out before it all comes crashing down". And imply they are looking out for investor's best interests by highlighting stocks that will go to zero in price causing a complete loss for anyone holding the stock. These short and distort manipulators will do everything in their power to keep buyers away from the stock so the price will continue to decline.
