That's my opinion too. I'm not a lawyer and have never seen that happen before. So no clue about what's legal and what isn't with something like this. But I do know, like you said, that there is a lot of activity in penny stocks that can seem a bit off. And I've been burned too many times with pennies to just brush it off as a mistake. It should not have happened. It doesn't happen with any legitimate company that I have ever seen. And, whether it's legal or not, it certainly is worth an eyebrow raise.
