This guy is sooooo talented. He's been associated with many highly promoted sizzle then fizzle companies I lost count!

I also received the MSRP tout in a hand-addressed envelope.

The envelope is disguised to look like an express delivery. It's made a the same kind of material as a FedEx envelope, for example. It has inch-high letters that shout EXPRESS DELIVERY EXPRESS PRIORITY and NEXT DAY PRIORITY EXPRESS, all in colors that mimic USPS packaging. And my address was hand-written.

Inside is yet another handwritten item: a post-it note that addresses me by my first name, followed by "Here's that Analyst" followed by a one-initial signature "S".

Very sleazy marketing indeed.

CRWG paid mailer arrived a few days ago.

"CFM has received and managed a total production budget of $500,000..."

This one has been promoted for a while now. Back on Sept 1 I received one, also from "Breakaway Stocks" which had a larger dollar amount disclosed. Like the previous one, this one does not identify who paid for the promotion.

dude I got the same one!!! Yeah the post-it note was a new touch, at least to me. I had to show the whole family that mailer, as usual showing it to the boys and telling them that bad people were trying to trick me out of our hard-earned money... I hope the next generation will be more impervious to this stuff...
