STKO - fake 8K - just when you've thought you've seen it all.
I've seen fake bankruptcy documents, fake Nevada business entity filings, fake websites, fake emails mimicking the most popular penny stock promoters, but this might be the first time I've seen a fake otcmarkets website set up to host a fake 8K to pump a sub-penny POS stock.
Monday a fake TBX email went out announcing STKO as the next TBX pick. The stock price jumped up over 150% that day on the fake promotion.
TBX announcing that they were not promoting STKO around 2:30 pm that same afternoon.
Today a fake PennyStockHeroes email went out to some penny stock investors pumping STKO and touting a merger with a major company, Colgate-Palmotive Co.

The owner of the domain wisely has it redirected to the official otcmarkets.com site, but that doesn't make the 8k any less fake
